We Ask Your Government! how much its fossil-fuel subsidies cost

The document examines a project by the International Budget Partnership (IBP) and the Global Subsidies Initiative (GSI) that questioned 80 governments on their fossil-fuel subsidy spending over three fiscal years. The findings highlight a significant lack of transparency and opacity in how governments report and manage public money spent on oil, gas, and coal subsidies.

• A survey of 80 governments regarding the total amount spent on oil, gas, and coal production and consumption subsidies over the previous three fiscal years revealed a lack of transparency in public spending.
