Recommendation 2:
Publicly releasing all data related to government expenditures on existing fossil fuel subsidies, including those listed in this report. This will support increased transparency on fossil fuel subsidies, particularly on the subsidies in Annex 1 that are currently unquantified due to lack of available data.
