The Reason Why

Fossil Fuel Subsidies:
Pouring Fuel on the Fire

Our world's reliance on fossil fuels has inadvertently triggered the most significant unintended consequence in history—climate change. Despite climate catastrophes, like this week’s hurricane Idalia, fossil fuel subsidies have escalated to new peaks.

A new IMF report revealed that global fossil fuel subsidies reached a record $7 trillion in 2022 (that's $13 million a minute) or 7.1 percent of the world’s GDP. Explicit subsidies (undercharging for fuel) have more than doubled since 2020 but are still only 18 percent of the total subsidy, while nearly 60 percent is due to undercharging for global warming and local air pollution. The report recommends ending the subsidies to help prevent global warming and avoid some of the 1.6 million deaths attributed to air pollution each year.

Quantum Leaps and Unimaginable Opportunities

Countries with the largest emissions should bring their net zero targets forward to 2040 in an “all hands on deck” effort to keep alive the chances of restraining global temperature rise within 1.5C, the UN has urged.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said: “Leaders of developed countries must commit to reaching net zero as close as possible to 2040.” Some have already done this, he pointed out, setting targets as early as 2035. Emerging economies must aim to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, he said.Guterres was speaking at a press conference to mark the publication of the fourth and final instalment of the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the world’s leading climate science body.

Guterres stressed that the higher ambition could be reached by phasing out coal by 2030 in countries that belong to the OECD – an organisation of 38 high-income economies – and 2040 in all other countries; ensuring net zero electricity generation by 2035 in all developed countries and 2040 in the rest of the world; ceasing all licensing, funding or expansion of new oil and gas projects; and shifting subsidies from fossil fuels to a just clean energy transition

Climate Endgame

A grid system is a design tool used to arrange content on a webpage. It is a series of vertical and horizontal lines that create a matrix of intersecting points, which can be used to align and organize page elements. Grid systems are used to create a consistent look and feel across a website, and can help to make the layout more visually appealing and easier to navigate.

Can we convert natural gas to hydrogen gas economically?

The climate crisis is not “gender neutral”. Women and girls experience the greatest impacts of climate change, which amplifies existing gender inequalities and poses unique threats to their livelihoods, health, and safety.

Across the world, women depend more on, yet have less access to, natural resources. In many regions, women bear a disproportionate responsibility for securing food, water, and fuel. Agriculture is the most important employment sector for women in low- and lower-middle income countries, during periods of drought and erratic rainfall, women, as agricultural workers and primary procurers, work harder to secure income and resources for their families. This puts added pressure on girls, who often have to leave school to help their mothers manage the increased burden.
