Kyte s comments come after South Korea s President Moon Jae-in told a climate summit convened by U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday that the country would stop all new financing of coal plants for overseas. To become carbon neutral, it is imperative for the world to scale down coal-fired power plants, Moon said, adding that developing countries that face challenges due to their reliance on coal should be given due consideration and access to proper support.
