G7 Fossil Fuel Subsidy Scorecard: Tracking the phase-out of fiscal support and public finance for oil, gas and coal

The G7 Fossil Fuel Subsidy Scorecard analyzes the continued provision of fiscal support and public finance for fossil fuels by G7 governments, highlighting a gap between their phase-out commitments and actual actions.

• G7 governments provide at least USD 100 billion in subsidies and public finance for the production and use of coal, oil, and gas, which may obstruct energy transition shifts.
• Despite annual commitments since 2009 to phase out fossil fuel subsidies in alignment with the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals, G7 governments have taken limited action and lack mechanisms to document the extent of their support or ensure accountability.
• In 2015 and 2016, G7 governments provided an annual average of at least USD 81 billion in fiscal support and USD 20 billion in public finance for the production and consumption of oil, gas, and coal, both domestically and internationally.
