The Production Gap: Governments' Planned Fossil Fuel Production Remains Dangerously Out of Sync with Paris Agreement Limits

As countries set net-zero emission targets under the Paris Agreement, they are looking to a rapid reduction in fossil fuel production. However, many governments plan to produce more than double the amount of fossil fuels in 2030, leaving the production gap largely unchanged since 2019. 

This report tracks how governments are supporting fossil fuel production through their policies, investments and other measures, as well as how some are beginning to discuss and enact policies towards a managed and equitable transition away from fossil fuel production.

It features individual country profiles for 15 major fossil fuel-producing countries, and a special chapter on the role of transparency in helping to address the production gap.
