The 2023 Production Gap Report: "Phasing down or phasing up? Top fossil fuel producers plan even more extraction despite climate promises" finds that governments plan to produce†̄around†̄ 110% more†̄fossil fuels†̄in 2030†̄than would be consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C,†̄and 69% more than would be consistent with 2°C.
The Report provides newly expanded country profiles for 20 major fossil-fuel-producing countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Germany, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Mexico, Nigeria, Norway, Qatar, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America.†̄These profiles show that most of these governments continue to provide significant policy and financial support for fossil fuel production.
"We cannot address climate catastrophe without tackling its root cause: fossil fuel dependence. COP28 must send a clear signal that the fossil fuel age is out of gas -- that its end is inevitable. We need credible commitments to ramp up renewables, phase out fossil fuels, and boost energy efficiency, while ensuring a just, equitable transition" said UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
