Strange problem to have!

One powerful tool once enough governments realise they face a common, expensive problem is to solve it outside in: a treaty or initiative to overcome domestic political inertia with “everyone’s doing it”.

Here’s one prepared earlier:

The fossil fuel subsidy reform initiative at (not by) the WTO would be game changing, and help countries escape this trap.

That's a toughie. I'm loving my 9070xt. Super has a higher raster performance and probably better ray tracing. Dependent on if you value a longer update cycle or raw power.

Nvidia does have the better upscaler but FFSR 3 and on are really good.

1️⃣8️⃣ Let's hope that over the next biennium there is some cross-fertilisation between the FFSR Initiative and the WTO's 83-member Dialogue on Plastics Pollution and Environmentally Sustainable Plastics Trade (DPP), whose coordinators released their Ministerial Statement on 18 March 2026 (🔗).

1️⃣5️⃣ It's not clear to this observer (I sit in, personally or verbally, on meetings of the FFSR Initiative) why the members couldn't in parallel ask tough questions in the SCM Committee (and perhaps the other bodies mentioned), but slightly better late than never, I guess.

1️⃣1️⃣ Finally, the 14-page progress report (🔗) by the FFSR Ititiative's Coordinator (New Zealand) provides some helpful details on what work the group and its individual members achieved over the last biennium across the three pillars.

6️⃣ ... targeted and temporal FF subsidy measures in response to energy crises.

Not included in the Ministerial Statement is an adopted output relating to the 3rd pillar of the FFSR Initiative's work, though a draft "Grid outlining subsidy types and impacts" is included in the Progress report by NZ.

1️⃣ On 26 March 2026, the 48 co-sponsors of the WTO's Fossil Fuel Subsidy Reform (FFSR) Initiative issued a joint Ministerial Statement in advance of the 14th WTO Ministerial Conference (MC14) on what they have achieved since MC14 (Feb 2024) and the work they intend to do in the next biennium (🔗). 🧵

From the Govt's own website:

"Subsidies for fossil fuel consumption and production create trade and investment distortions. Making GHG emitting fuels cheaper to produce or buy is an incentive to use more and discourages investment in renewable energy."
