On Tuesday, the EU Parliament’s Environment Committee adopted a resolution by a large majority setting out MEPs’ demands for the UN Climate Change Conference in Dubai at the end of the month (COP28). In it, they call for an end to direct and indirect subsidies for fossil fuels at both EU and national levels „as soon as possible, but no later than 2025.“ The member states also want to work towards ending fossil fuel subsidies in Dubai but did not set a date in their negotiating mandate.
