20 countries but excluding the single largest driver of nuclear energy development in the world: China.

What a fucking worthless declaration.

How isn't that even better, then? Those countries set a bar for themselves, no matter what China decides to do

Why would they need to declare anything? They already are pivoting away from fossil fuels as hard as they can.
