At COP30, gov’ts must:
📉Advance the reform of subsidies and international public finance for fossil fuels
📈 Raise NDC ambition for a just and inclusive energy transition
🤝 Agree on a roadmap to transition away from fossil fuels

✅ The energy transition will succeed only if it is fair & inclusive.

Without addressing social, economic, & distributional dimensions, gov’ts risk deepening inequality & excluding vulnerable communities from access to energy, employment, & business opportunities.

6/7

By joining COFFIS, member countries commit to:
🔹 Publish an inventory of their fossil fuel subsidies a year after joining
🔹 Develop national action plans for phasing out fossil fuel subsidies

This helps translate commitments on phasing out FFS into specific national actions.

5/7

First mover coalitions like Clean Energy Transition Partnership & COFFIS are making progress. CETP members slashed fossil fuel finance by up to 78% in 2024 vs 2019-2021.

Progress on clean energy must also 📈. Less than 1/5 of funds was redirected to clean energy.

Yet gov’ts plan to produce more than 2x the amount of fossil fuels by 2030 than is consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C.

Gov'ts must deliver on commitments to transition away from fossil fuels.

As @iea.org's #WEO2025 made clear:

☀️Renewables are the 🌍’s fastest-growing source of energy
💰Net zero is cheaper than fossil fuel dependence

Gov’ts and investors have a choice: lock in dependence on volatile, harmful fossil fuels; or embrace clean, safe, cheap renewables.

Project lead Achmad Ambadar explains, “IISD is delighted to lead this work. In collaboration with gov’t institutions, local communities & traditionally marginalized groups, this project has huge potential to ⬇️ emissions & drive an equitable transition to sustainable transport.”

Today’s Ksi Lisims announcement is a step in the wrong direction for the economy and climate.

Canada is missing opportunities to rapidly expand clean energy projects that would reduce costs and emissions while creating jobs.
6/6

➕LNG is incompatible with Canada’s climate goals.

Burning LNG creates emissions, contributing to the wildfires, floods, and droughts that afflict Canadians every year. This disqualifies it from serious consideration as a climate strategy.
5/6

LNG is also linked to energy insecurity—price spikes, inflation, and supply disruptions—that importers no longer need to tolerate.

Key export markets like Europe, Japan, & South Korea are adopting measures to reduce LNG demand in favour of cheaper renewables.

Billions provided in gov't support for LNG & its infrastructure is a missed opportunity.

This support diverts resources away from low-carbon innovation as rapidly growing renewable energy drives down demand for oil and gas.

Canadian LNG production costs are well above the average, & around 5 times higher than the cost of production in Qatar.

In an oversupplied market, late-arriving projects like Ksi Lisims could be among the first to be priced out.
