BREAKING: The Trump admin has installed 100+ fossil fuel insiders and corporate lobbyists to roles across federal agencies.

These staffers are enacting a dirty energy agenda and destroying our public lands.

Our new report with Revolving Door Project breaks it all down ⬇️

Green energy pact has curbed fossil fuel funding Public funding for international fossil fuel deals fell by up to 78% last year across a coalition of 35 countries, though members of the group, including Germany and the United States, approved new projects, research by a group of NGOs showed on Tuesday.

A new report released by @oilchange.bsky.social, @iisd.org and @foeus.bsky.social reveals that an international alliance to shift public finance away from fossil fuels is working.

Why? International public finance for #FossilFuels was slashed by up to 78% in 2024 ✅

Text that reads, “Nothing even comes close” to fossil fuel industry subsidies, Whitehouse told ExxonKnews in a statement. “As the corrupt Trump Administration destroys affordable, clean energy, it’s shoveling even more subsidies at the failing coal sector. That’s taxpayer money propping up an industry that turns around and charges those same taxpayers higher energy prices.”

We'll give the final word to @whitehouse.senate.gov:

-Days after publicly denying the existence of fossil fuel subsidies, Trump's top energy official, former fracking exec. Chris Wright, awarded $625M in new subsidies to coal. Oh, and he ordered Dept. of Energy staff to stop using the word "subsidies" to try to pull the wool over the public's eyes.

Some highlights from the piece:
-Fossil fuel subsidies have risen to new highs under the Trump admin. Industry will now get over $4B in new subsidies every year, on top of the $35B they were already set to receive.

The fossil fuel subsidy denier-in-chief Fossil fuel companies are getting propped up with billions in tax dollars, but the U.S. energy secretary claims otherwise.

Excellent new piece from @emdashsanders.bsky.social on why the Trump admin is so keen to deny the existence of fossil fuel subsidies, featuring @whitehouse.senate.gov, @doctorvive.bsky.social, and @collinrees.bsky.social.

The fossil fuel subsidy denier-in-chief Fossil fuel companies are getting propped up with billions in tax dollars, but the U.S. energy secretary claims otherwise.

Last week, the U.S. Energy Secretary falsely claimed “there are not oil and gas subsidies.” 🙄

In reality, "nothing even comes close” to fossil fuel subsidies, @whitehouse.senate.gov told @emdashsanders.bsky.social.

A new @oilchange.bsky.social report calculated them to be $34.8 billion annually.

Oil Change Response to Anticipated Government Shutdown - Oil Change International Ahead of a U.S. government shutdown, Collin Rees said: “Trump and Republicans are showing they work for billionaires and fossil fuel CEOs, not working people.”

As Trump + the GOP shut down the gov't to avoid funding healthcare for working families, a reminder of what they ARE willing to fund:

💸$35B in annual handouts to fossil fuel companies
💸$625M in new giveaways to coal

Trump puts his fossil fuel donors' profits before working people. bit.ly/46KLV0O

The Trump admin is doing this because they care more about providing a steady stream of profits to Trump's fossil fuel donors than providing clean, affordable energy to working people.

Holding course, missing speed - Oil Change International This report finds that CETP members cut fossil fuel finance by up to 78% but need to rapidly scale up finance for renewables.

"It's time for the remaining laggards to get on board—in particular, the new South Korean government can score an early diplomatic win by joining the initiative, setting a new standard for climate leadership in Asia."

Adam McGibbon, public finance campaign strategist at OCI, on our new report: "The CETP has set a new global norm, with billions in international public finance permanently shifting away from fossil fuels. The more the CETP succeeds, the more isolated the remaining countries outside of it appear."

As the revision of the sustainable finance rules (SFDR) concludes, we join +120 experts in calling on the @ec.europa.eu to exclude firms developing new fossil fuel projects. There's no room for new fossil fuels in sustainable fund categories!

Great coverage by @reuters.com of our NEW report showing that among CETP countries, there's a 78% drop in public finance for fossil fuels, or between $11.3 billion and $16.3 billion, compared with 2019-2021 levels, before the agreement was signed.

Trump has set his sights on #Alaska as a test case for his disastrous “National Energy Dominance” agenda.

For @rollingstone.com, I went to Alaska and met people organizing to resist Trump’s plans.

I'm writing today to share some (rare) good climate news!

New research released today by @energy.iisd.org @oilchange.bsky.social @foeus.bsky.social shows that members of the Clean Energy Transition Partnership have cut their international public finance for fossil fuels by up to 78%.

CETP members should:
💪 Strengthen fossil finance restrictions
🤝 Agree a USD 42 billion annual collective clean energy finance target by 2026
✅ Deliver public clean energy finance on fair terms
❌ End subsidies and approvals for new domestic oil and gas projects

While the CETP has driven a historic reduction in fossil financing, progress on clean energy finance is far slower. Less than 1/5 of the funds shifted from fossil fuels were redirected to clean energy, and the clean energy finance isn’t reaching countries who need it most.

There's still work to do. Some countries (Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and the U.S, before it left the CETP) —approved USD 10.9 billion in fossil fuel finance in 2023-2024, in violation of the commitment.

Holding course, missing speed - Oil Change International This report finds that CETP members cut fossil fuel finance by up to 78% but need to rapidly scale up finance for renewables.

NEW: Our new research shows public finance for fossil fuels from @CETP_Sec countries has dropped 78% in 2024 compared to 2019-21 - a drop of $11.3–16.3 billion/yr!

This shows that CETP is working - an example of international action to tackle fossil finance!

Vanuatu working toward UN vote aimed at fighting fossil fuel industry influence Ralph Regenvanu, minister of climate change for the Pacific island nation said the step was on ‘behalf of everybody’

Vanuatu’s Climate Minister @rregenvanu.bsky.social says the fossil fuel industry is the greatest obstacle to tackling the climate crisis and implementing the International Court of Justice opinion that international law requires all states to protect the climate:

A fair, polluter-pays policy agenda would begin to undo the massive transfer of wealth and power to the biggest culprits of the climate crisis while also freeing up urgently needed public funds.
