According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) $7,000,000,000,000 were spent on direct and indirect subsidies for fossil fuels in 2022.
Government support for fossil fuels is equivalent to just over 7% of our planet's entire economic output.
By comparison, global education spending accounts for 4.3% of all GDP.
Cutting it could prevent 1.6M premature deaths per year and increase government revenues by $4.4 trillion.
