The 2018 European Fossil Fuel Subsidies Awards!
The European Fossil Fuel Subsidies Awards expose financial support for dirty energy in countries across Europe. Subsidising fossil fuels threatens our health and economies, pollutes our air, and undermines action on climate change. Governments may be talking up their action on climate change, but they’re pouring billions into dirty energy.
The public has spoken! Eight shortlisted nominations were ranked by a public vote in March, and a special prize was awarded to the EU by CAN Europe.

EU special prize
We couldn't let the European Union (EU) get away without a well-deserved special mention.....The EU was awarded a special prize by CAN Europe for its support to gas infrastructure. European politicians may be talking up their climate action, but in reality the EU is still subsidising new gas infrastructure that will lock Europe into the fossil fuel age for decades.
