About the Talk (报告内容)
This talk will focus on the GSI’s work on energy subsidies, with respect to fossil-fuels, biofuels and renewable energy technologies for electricity generation. It will explore three questions: how much are countries spending on subsidies for different kinds of energy? What kind of impacts do different subsidies have? And—where energy subsidies are found to be harmful—what sorts of challenges need to be overcome so they can be reformed?

About IISD (IISD简介)
The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) is a non-profit, non-partisan research institute with over twenty years of experience championing sustainable development around the world through research innovation, partnerships and communications.
IISD began the Global Subsidies Initiative (GSI) in 2005, with a mission to investigate how subsidies affect sustainable development and to develop policy solutions for harmful subsidies. GSI has been a leader in the identification, measurement and evaluation of subsidies for the energy sector. It has been particularly active identifying and assessing cost-effective measures to promote renewable energy. Previous projects with IRENA, UNEP, IEA-RETD, the European Environmental Bureau, Transport and Environment, the World Trade Institute, and many others have ensured that IISD has developed a deep understanding of the challenges facing renewables. Its wide array of high-level partners reflects IISD’s experience in facilitating policy dialogues.
