GSI outreach: shaping the agenda for reform

The GSI is committed to ongoing outreach to policy-makers and the global media, communicating our knowledge of fossil-fuel subsidies and best practice for successful reform.
 
On 25 September 2009, the Leaders of the Group of Twenty (G-20) met in Pittsburgh, PA, and agreed to phase out fossil-fuel subsidies. The Global Subsidies Initiative is committed to ensuring that this process be as fair and transparent as possible, taking into account producer as well as consumer subsidies and implementing measures to secure the welfare of the poor.
 
We will also be promoting the importance of global fossil-fuel subsidy reform at the Copenhagen climate change negotiations.
