David Manley, Lead Green Fiscal Policy, International Institute for Sustainable Development

David Manley from the International Institute for Sustainable Development discusses the challenges of financing the transition away from fossil fuels at a conference in Santa Marta, Colombia. He emphasizes the need for standardized inventories to measure fossil fuel subsidies across countries, advocating for targeted support for the most vulnerable populations rather than blanket subsidies. Manley highlights the importance of private sector investment in renewable energy and the necessity of addressing barriers to financing, such as improving national grids and storage solutions. The conversation also touches on the potential for taxing the oil and gas industry, though concerns about transparency and the allocation of funds remain significant challenges.
