Fossil fuel subsidies reduce the price of fossil fuels and distort energy markets, further fuelling the climate crisis.

In this infographic, we visualize the potential of this critical emission reductions tool—by the numbers.
This infographic is based on the report Cutting Emissions Through Fossil Fuel Subsidy Reform and Taxation.
