GSI-UNEP Joint Conference Report: Increasing the Momentum of Fossil-Fuel Subsidy Reform - Developments and Opportunities
Summary
This report summarizes a two-day conference titled 'Increasing the Momentum of Fossil-Fuel Subsidy Reform: Developments and Opportunities,' organized by the Global Subsidies Initiative (GSI) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to address the lack of transparency regarding national strategies and timelines for phasing out fossil-fuel subsidies.
Key insights
- Within the 12 months preceding the report, the G-20 and APEC committed to the phase-out of inefficient fossil-fuel subsidies, and the Friends of Fossil-Fuel Subsidy Reform group of countries was created to support the G-20's efforts.
- The GSI-UNEP conference aimed to address a gap in knowledge concerning the specific strategies, progress, and timelines adopted by international forums and national governments regarding subsidy reform.
