Reforming fossil fuel subsidies requires a new approach to setting international commitments

Author

  • Harro van Asselt
  • Jakob Skovgaard

Summary, in English

Fossil fuel subsidy reform is a sensible climate change mitigation option, yet government support for fossil fuel production and consumption remains high. International efforts to phase out fossil fuel subsidies can be strengthened by distinguishing between different subsidies, taking into account their climate impacts and the feasibility of reform.
