🌍Explaining the Santa Marta conference and what it means for fossil fuel subsidy phase-out A thread🧵 The Santa Marta Conference (April 28–29) is the world’s first global summit dedicated to phasing out fossil fuels: transitionawayconference.com

Next month, countries will gather in Santa Marta, Colombia for the First International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels—the first in a series of diplomatic conferences focused explicitly on working towards a fossil-free world. #FossilFuelTreaty #BeyondFossilFuels #Venezuela

🔎Explore the Conference’s new website and see how governments, civil society and communities can help accelerate a truly global just transition away from fossil fuels: transitionawayconference.com

Climate breakdown, biodiversity loss, economic instability and conflict are deeply connected and fossil fuel dependence sits at the centre of all four.

➡️Stop Fossil Subsidies’ COFFIS Observatory welcomes Colombia’s updated Nationally Determined Contribution, published in December 2025, which contains one of the clearest commitments to fossil fuel subsidy reform seen to date globally. @energy.iisd.org stopfossilsubsidies.eu/colombias-ne...

Looking for extra fiscal space? An inventory of fossil fuel subsidies can help! Here are 5-steps to get started: 1️⃣Whole of gov't approach 2️⃣Comprehensive scope & definition 3️⃣Appropriate method to measure subsidies 4️⃣Environmental & socio-economic lens 5️⃣Regular updates 📗 www.iisd.org/publications...

❗We know that the United States are completely withdrawing from climate action, but it is still surprising to read in the latest OECD Inventory of Support Measures for Fossil Fuels 2025 that the US has asked for their data not to be included. www.oecd.org/en/publicati... @carbonbrief.org

🔔We’ve published a new paper with @caneurope.org and @clientearth.bsky.social on a phase-out framework for fossil subsidies, addressed to the @ec.europa.eu ⬇️ in light of the upcoming Governance Regulation revision in Q4 2026. Read it here: stopfossilsubsidies.eu?p=3596

SCOOP: Carbon Brief has exclusively obtained a list of 84 countries "opposed" to adding a fossil-fuel roadmap to COP30 deal – but our analysis found a series of contradictions & likely errors For eg 14 on list are also roadmap "supporters" Read more➡️ www.carbonbrief.org/...

⚡Breaking news: The Governments of Colombia and the Netherlands will co-host the First International Conference on the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels. 🚩28-29 April 2026, Santa Marta, Colombia @fossiltreaty.bsky.social fossilfueltreaty.org/first-intern...

COP30 BREAKING NEWS The presidency has just dropped a new package of texts including the "global mutirão" cover, which makes no mention of fossil fuels or roadmaps Here's my snap analysis (pic) unfccc.int/sites/def...

Breaking: The Canadian government is being sued over its 2025 federal budget, which introduces new fossil fuel subsidies and weakens climate measures. It's apparently the first case using the International Court of Justice’s climate advisory opinion. --Centre for the Promotion of Global Health

💬At COFFIS Ministerial @cop30brazil.bsky.social , important to see small steps from some EU member states on fossil fuel subsidy phaseout - with the Netherlands and Belgium going furthest with phase-out plans (NL already out, BE very soon).

COP30 FOSSIL FUEL ROADMAP: We've now seen the full list of 82 countries supporting some sort of roadmap on transitioning away from fossil fuels docs.google.com/spre... 1/2

Press conference room absolutely packed at #COP30 as 20+ ministers gather to call for a roadmap away from fossil fuels to be a key outcome of this summit (Many more countries have expressed their support behind the scenes)

That's pretty weak phrasing - Parties could be urged to do a lot more, such as submit national inventories of their fossil fuel subsidies and action plans for gradually phasing them out.

⬇️ Looking at the current negotiation text of the COP30 cover decision 👀 (This is not the first time fossil fuel subsidy phase out appears in a decision, but last year in Baku, it was not mentioned)

#Cambodia just became the 18th country to officially support the #FossilFuelTreaty! 🇰🇭 At #COP30 in Belém, Cambodia affirmed their commitment to a fast, fair and financed global transition aligned with a low-carbon, climate-resilient future. 🔗 FossilFuelTreaty.org/cambodia%EF%...

💡Our new analysis: in just 9 days, support for a Transition Away from Fossil Fuels (TAFF) Roadmap has grown from 1 to 62 countries—an extraordinary wave of momentum that underscores global readiness to move beyond #FossilFuels.⁠ Our full breakdown👇 350.org/press-releas...

First, discussions on the just transition work programme have come up with a new text. In it is the first mention of fossil fuel subsidy reform of this COP: But there's a "no text" option indicating this text is opposed by some

That brings up the number of countries supporting a fossil fuel roadmap to 21 in total and demonstrates growing momentum.

EU Finance Minister's decisions on #climatefinance today give a muddled message. Private finance isn’t delivering. The EU must scale up public finance, phase out fossil fuel subsidies & back polluter-pays taxes. 🔗 Our reaction: caneurope.org/climate-finance-position-the-emperor-has-no-clothes

Big news from #UNGA: The Colombian government has just announced its plan to host the First International Conference for the Phase-Out of Fossil Fuels in April 2026!

💬🗨️Let's talk about COFFIS! @energy.iisd.org As COP30 @cop30brazil.bsky.social approaches, several COFFIS members still need to provide a fossil fuel subsidy inventory.

⬇️We have submitted our input to the UNFCCC to inform the negotiations on climate finance at @cop30brazil.bsky.social Our proposal? 👉Phasing out fossil subsidies. Let's use the money funding fossils to accelerate the climate transition instead. unfccc.int/topics/clima...

Federal subsidies for fossil fuel companies have doubled to $35 billion a year since 2017, according to a new report. Authors warn oil and gas firms could receive even more in tax credits unless lawmakers act.

"The fossil fuel industry continues to pocket massive profits and subsidies. Meanwhile, everyday people bear the costs of climate catastrophe – from rising insurance premiums to lost livelihoods. Those who shoulder the blame must foot the bill." @antonioguterres #ActOnClimate

💪This is what the latest ICJ advisory opinion says on fossil fuel subsidies⬇️ www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

I don’t think 1.5 degrees failed because it was too ambitious. It failed because hardly anyone made a serious effort. Just look at fossil fuel subsidies. Any serious attempt to phase out fossil fuels would have started by immediately stopping all fossil subsidies.

⤵️ We are still waiting for the inventories submissions of the following countries: bsky.app/profile/stop...

🚨 JUST RELEASED: Our analysis of COFFIS @iisd.org inventories is out — and the results are alarming. Only 3 of the 12 original COFFIS members submitted real fossil fuel subsidy inventories. 👉 Read more: stopfossilsubsidies.eu/coffis-obser... #StopFossilSubsidies

⛽️📉 Fossil fuel subsidy reforms are stalling Of 21 major countries, only 9% of reforms lasted 3 years. Despite bold pledges since 2016, most efforts to cut subsidies have faded fast or reversed. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #SciComm #ClimatePolicy 🧪

‼️Europeans deserve more than empty words. @ec.europa.eu finally reacted to our open letter of October 2024 demanding an immediate phase out of fossil subsidies. The efforts made by @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu and Dan Jørgensen so far still fall short

⬇️According to the latest report by the @eea.europa.eu the EU is "likely off track" to meet its fossil fuel subsidy phase out goal. In our assessment the EU is "most definitely off track", though. Time for the @ec.europa.eu and @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu to do something about it?

Fossil fuel subsidies in G7 countries grow despite reduction pledges – report www.cleanenergywire.org/news/fossil-... #fossilfuels #oil #gas #coal

Hi @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu. Time to do something about this? ⬇️ 2025 is supposedly the deadline to phase out fossil fuel subsidies in G7 countries. We are not on the right track.

➡️ Do you want to see the detailed dataset of energy subsidies in the European Union? Last year we sent a transparency request to the Commission asking for all the data: stopfossilsubsidies.eu/eu-commissio...

🛑💸New Year's resolution: Finally Stop Fossil Subsidies! 🔥2024 was an intense year, and so will 2025 be! We are coming back to Den Haag on 11/1 where we will block the A12. We demand that the government stops subsidizing the fossil fuel industry. Join us! #StopFossieleSubsidies #scientistrebellion

🛢️ #StopFossilSubsidies including fossil export credits! www.iisd.org/articles/exp...

‼️It’s 1 year since countries launched the #COFFIS coalition to #StopFundingFossils. But not all have released fossil fuel subsidy inventories as promised. Antigua and Barbuda, Canada, Costa Rica, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg, and Spain, who have not published their inventories. Where are they?
