G20 Leaders Reach Historic Climate Agreement at Mumbai Summit
World leaders gathered at the G20 summit in Mumbai have signed a landmark agreement pledging to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2045 — five years earlier than previous commitments.
The deal represents the most ambitious climate pact in history. All 20 major economies have agreed to phase out coal power by 2035 and triple renewable energy capacity by 2030.

Finance ministers also agreed to establish a $500 billion climate fund to help developing nations transition to clean energy. Critics argue the agreement lacks binding enforcement mechanisms.
The Indian government called it "a victory for the planet and for future generations." Environmental groups gave the deal cautious praise while calling for stronger implementation measures.
