COP 30 Side Event | COFFIS and CETP Ministerial
Fiscal policies are a primary tool for transitioning away from fossil fuels. The Clean Energy Transition Partnership and Coalition on Phasing Out Fossil Fuel Incentives Including Subsidies are two leading coalitions of countries committed to international and domestic action on transitioning international public finance from fossil fuels to renewables and on fossil fuel subsidy reform.
This event will highlight shared ambitions and strengthen connections between governments and business in advancing this agenda. The event will also serve as an opportunity to announce new coalition members and spotlight progress across both initiatives.
A reception will follow.
