10 years ago G20 leaders pledged to phase fossil fuel subsidies... but they still provide at least US$64 billion per year in government support to coal alone. Image: ODI

G20 support for coal-fired power plants has increased from US$17 billion to US$47 billion in just three years. Image: ODI

G20 governments give nearly US$17billion per year to other countries for coal mining and coal-fired power plants. Image: ODI

Coal-fired power plants were the largest contributors to CO2 emissions in 2018 yet they receive US$47 billion per year from G20 governments. Image: ODI
