Update: 22 June 2012
Rio drew to a close today and unfortunately world leaders failed to deliver an agreement to end fossil fuel subsidies. Instead the text offers a weak invitation to countries to end "inefficient subsidies", but without definition, a timeline, or any accountability, this is really just an greenlight for Big Oil, Coal and Gas to hang on to their public funding. But it’s not all bad. In the last two weeks, we’ve taken an issue from the political fringes and thrust it into the mainstream. World leaders might have failed to make history, but our movement is strong, building, and has what it takes to win in the long run!
