This fact sheet describes the activities of the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) Energy Program, which provides guidance to authorities on transitioning to sustainable energy systems, reforming fossil fuel subsidies, and implementing international climate commitments.

• The IISD Energy Program assists authorities in selecting appropriate electricity generation systems, reducing fossil-based transport fuel consumption, and implementing international climate change commitments.
• IISD research indicates that the cost of fossil fuel subsidies in Middle Eastern and African countries for a single year is sufficient to fund the entire region's renewable energy targets through 2020.
• The IISD Global Subsidies Initiative (GSI) specializes in the quantification, evaluation, and reform of energy subsidies to address wasteful and damaging practices.
• IISD supports governments in transitioning to low-carbon economies by analyzing carbon pricing, energy policies, and international climate finance, specifically helping countries implement Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Climate Change Agreement.
• The Energy Program has provided specific support for coal subsidy reform in China, the phasing out of coal in Ontario, Canada, and the transition from kerosene to solar lighting in India.
