48 billion for climate collapse?
What happens?
Every year, our government subsidises the burning of oil, gas and coal to the tune of more than 48 billion euros. By subsidising fossil fuels, the government is foregoing a lot of money and further fuelling the climate catastrophe. Want some examples?
- Free allocation of CO2 certificates means that industry does not have to pay anything for some of its CO2 emissions. (€ 9 billion)
- Flights are subsidised by the energy tax exemption on paraffin. (€ 8.4 billion)
- Fat SUVs are brought onto the roads through the company car privilege. (~€4.3bn)
What should happen?
The money could be well spent on social programmes: attractive public transport, social housing, an adequate basic child benefit system, etc.

Protest in Kassel
The climate crisis is now. Here. Everywhere. People around the world are paying for this crisis with their health, with their chance of a good future, with their lives. Regional airports like the one in Kassel are a place where the terrible madness in which we find ourselves becomes very clear. In Kassel, the bankrupt airport is being kept running artificially with taxpayers' money. Here, people are paying for this catastrophe with their taxes! Instead of investing in solutions, Kassel is subsidising destruction. We demand from the Mayor of Kassel: No tax money for the regional airport Kassel Calden! Let's invest our money and our energy in a socially just future worth living - not in its destruction! Stop fossil fuel subsidies! Let's protest together here in Brussels and on the streets of Kassel, come and join us!
Example: The Netherlands
The success in The Hague showed what we can achieve with mass peaceful protest.
EU campaign United for Climate Justice
Stop fossil fuel subsidies Berlin, 9 December 2023
Hundreds of people from all age groups take part in the first mass blockade. Banners read the demand "Stop fossil subsidies", people danced, sang and shouted slogans.
Marit Schatzmann, spokesperson for Parents Against the Fossil Fuel Industry, explains: "While Scholz speaks in Dubai of a firm commitment to phasing out fossil fuels, his government in Germany is subsidising the burning of oil, gas and coal to the tune of more than 48 billion euros. The subsidisation of climate collapse must stop and the money must be used for a socially just transformation of our society."
Today's protest is just the beginning of many more mass blockades. According to the alliance, the protests will continue until fossil fuel subsidies are finally stopped.
