Why? It currently lacks the legal teeth, comprehensive coverage, and monitoring frameworks needed for a credible transition ‼️87% of total subsidies have no phase-out pathway, leaving €25B+ active in 2050. @milieudefensie.bsky.social @xrnl.bsky.social

🚨 New Assessment: Evaluating the Dutch Fossil Fuel Subsidy Phase-out Plan. As the current chair of COFFIS @energy.iisd.org , the Netherlands has a major opportunity to lead. While publishing a plan is a great step, our analysis shows serious room for improvement The plan scored 11 out of 50.

39 countries cut energy taxes after the Iran war. Politically popular but self-defeating: untargeted subsidies blunt the price signals, lead to higher demand, cost the tax payer significantly more and provide less incentive to invest in alternatives.

❗We know that the United States are completely withdrawing from climate action, but it is still surprising to read in the latest OECD Inventory of Support Measures for Fossil Fuels 2025 that the US has asked for their data not to be included. www.oecd.org/en/publicati... @carbonbrief.org
Note on country coverage: The United States requested that their data be removed from further reporting on OECD’s support measures for fossil fuels. They have thus been removed from this update, including from all numbers on previous years reported in this document. As such, any comparison with previous updates of the Inventory should take this removal into account.
