This briefing by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) outlines four strategic areas where G7 nations can demonstrate leadership to accelerate the global phase-out of fossil fuels. It argues that the G7 should set a 2030 deadline for coal phase-out, implement the removal of fossil fuel subsidies, end international public finance for fossil fuels, and commit to ending new oil and gas production to align with the 1.5°C warming limit.

A November 2022 briefing by Global Energy Monitor (GEM) identifies 30 fossil fuel companies responsible for 43% of the energy sector's global methane emissions.

This fact sheet by the International Institute for Sustainable Development evaluates Argentina's government support for fossil fuels, ranking it second among G20 non-OECD member countries. While the country shows relatively good transparency and low support for fossil fuel use, it provides substantial funding for oil and gas production, primarily through state-owned enterprise (SOE) investments.
