Sign Our Open Letter: Phase Out Fossil Fuel Subsidies

On April 28–29, 2026, leaders gathered in Santa Marta, Colombia, for a critical test of integrity.

It was the deadline for the Coalition on Phasing Out Fossil Fuel Incentives Including Subsidies (COFFIS) to prove their promises weren't just talk. So far, those promises still haven't turned into action.

Back in 2023, this coalition of nations pledged to remove fossil fuel subsidies through transparency and action. But as of 2026, only two government have published a roadmap to phase out fossil fuel subsidies.

While these nations delay, over $1 trillion USD is poured annually into propping up fossil fuels – money that fuels climate disasters, enriches fossil fuel interests, and leaves the poorest communities vulnerable to rising energy costs.

We can’t let this coalition become just another talk shop for broken promises.

Sign our open letter to COFFIS member countries: Stop stalling and start leading to end fossil fuel subsidies and invest in affordable, abundant clean energy.

Join us in calling for: 

• NO to further delays in publishing annual fossil fuel subsidy inventories and phase-out plans. Transparency is non-negotiable.
• NO to new fossil fuel subsidies. Stop pouring public money into an industry making outrageous windfall profits while families suffer.
• YES to an immediate phase-out of exploration and production subsidies as the first step toward total elimination.
• YES to direct cash transfers and strict liability funds that actually protect vulnerable consumers, rather than propping up dirty energy.
• YES to windfall taxes on the fossil fuel industry to fund a socially-just transition and energy sovereignty.

 

Climate Reality will deliver the letter to COFFIS country representatives on behalf of the signatories and share the number of signers by country. No personal information will be shared with recipients.
