GSI-UNEP Joint Conference Report: Increasing the Momentum of Fossil-Fuel Subsidy Reform - Developments and Opportunities
Summary
The report details a joint GSI-UNEP conference that brought together delegates and experts from international organizations, NGOs, and the industrial sector to address the lack of transparency regarding national strategies and timelines for fossil-fuel subsidy reform. It highlights the commitments of the G-20 and APEC to phase out inefficient subsidies and the role of the Friends of Fossil-Fuel Subsidy Reform group in supporting these initiatives.
Key insights
- International bodies including the G-20 and APEC have made commitments to phase out fossil-fuel subsidies that are considered inefficient, while the Friends of Fossil-Fuel Subsidy Reform group was created to support the G-20's efforts.
- There is a significant gap in available information concerning the specific timelines, progress, and strategies employed by international forums and various national governments regarding subsidy reform.
