A path forward for the phase-out of fossil fuels
Despite the clear urgency to phase out fossil fuels, countries have repeatedly failed to agree on timelines and transition plans to reduce their dependence. The focus remains on curtailing smokestack and tailpipe emissions rather than reducing supply, while industry-backed terms such as “unabated” fossil fuels and “inefficient” subsidies leave the door open for continued fossil fuel production.
The Production Gap Report (2023) found that governments plan to produce 110 per cent more fossil fuels in 2030 than consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C and 350 per cent more by 2050, leading to climate catastrophe and irreversible tipping points.
