Ensuring COFFIS engagement before, during, and after Santa Marta: Key asks for COFFIS countries
The upcoming Santa Marta conference (24-29 April 2026) presents a critical opportunity for COFFIS countries to demonstrate global leadership in phasing out fossil fuel subsidies. Collectively, members are called to commit to ending subsidies for fossil fuel exploration and production as soon as possible, and to pledge no new subsidies will be introduced. At the […]
COFFIS Observatory finds low compliance but high quality in 2025 fossil fuel subsidy inventories
The COFFIS Observatory has completed its assessment of fossil fuel subsidy inventories submitted in 2025 by members of the Coalition on Phasing Out Fossil Fuel Invencentives including Subsidies (COFFIS). The results show a sharp gap between compliance and quality: very few countries submitted inventories, but those that did largely met high technical standards. Out of […]

Dutch ‘Phase-Out Plan’ adds transparency but misses opportunity
Today at COP30 the Dutch government presented their “Fossil Fuel Subsidy Phase-Out Plan”. Reading the document the conclusion is inevitable that this cannot be regarded as a genuine phase-out plan. As confirmed in the accompanying decision memorandum, the document introduces no new policies or measures and merely provides an overview of the current situation. While […]
Our submission to the UNFCCC climate finance negotiations
The COP30 presidency has asked stakeholders to submit their views regarding the “Baku to Belém Roadmap to 1.3T”, aiming at scaling up climate finance to USD 1.3 trillion yearly. The Stop Fossil Subsidies campaign has submitted this document. The submission underscores that fossil fuel subsidies—over USD 1.1 trillion globally in 2023—erode fiscal space in both […]
Mid-2025 recap: What we have done on fossil subsidies in the EU
An answer to our open letter Having delivered an open letter in late 2024 signed by over 30 groups and 130 academics demanding an end to all fossil subsidies by 2025, the campaign received a formal response from the European Commission in February 2025. The Commission admitted that only 43% of EU fossil fuel subsidies […]
COFFIS Observatory: New analysis reveals major gaps in countries’ commitment to ending fossil subsidies
