Review of fossil fuel subsidies stalls as Argentina ceased communication with Canada
- In 2018, Canada and Argentina initiated an evaluation process of fossil fuel subsidy practices as part of their G20 pledge made in Ottawa.
- The review intended to phase out all "inefficient" fossil fuel subsidies has come to a halt after Argentina stopped engaging in the process subsequent to its 2023 election and government transition.
