A new report says the Dutch government spends some 37.5 billion euros — about $40.5 billion — a year in subsidies to industries that use fossil fuels.
It calls on lawmakers to begin phasing out the subsidies even before the country’s Nov. 22 general election.
“We want the House of Representatives to start phasing out fossil subsidies now. The climate cannot wait for a new coalition.” “The government already has halted a number of measures and it is important to clearly and unequivocally map out exactly which further financial incentives are involved,” he said.
