While other sectors are accelerating their emissions reductions, the share of emissions from heavy industry is projected to increase dramatically under business as usual. As such, industry has a key role to play in the decarbonisation of the European economy to fulfill the EU’s commitments under the Paris agreement.

This report reviews the state of Italy's fossil-fuel subsidies and their progress in reforming their policies to reduce wasteful consumption. This is part of the G20's framework of voluntary peer reviews on fossil-fuel subsidies.
Increased use of renewable energy, combined with intensified electrification, could prove decisive for the world to meet key climate goals by 2050. This study highlights immediately deployable, cost-effective options for countries to fulfill climate commitments and limit the rise of global temperatures.
Indonesia, together with Italy, announced in February 2017 that they would undertake a reciprocal peer review of their fossil-fuel subsidies under the auspices of the G20.
