This short perspective asks what is the role—and added value—of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their associated institutional structures in the international governance of fossil fuel subsidies and their reform? It argues that whilst some progress has been made, notably through developing a methodology to define and measure fossil fuel subsidies, countries have only to a very limited extent followed up through indicator reporting and through their Voluntary National Reviews. Nevertheless, the SDGs can help highlight the various sustainable development dimensions of fossil fuel subsidies and support ongoing efforts to strengthen transparency, thereby indirectly helping to drive reform at the national level.

这个简短的视角提出了可持续发展目标（SDG）及其相关制度结构在化石燃料补贴及其改革的国际治理中的作用和附加值是什么？报告认为，虽然已经取得了一些进展，特别是通过制定一种定义和衡量化石燃料补贴的方法，但各国通过指标报告和自愿国家审查进行的跟进程度非常有限。尽管如此，可持续发展目标可以帮助突出化石燃料补贴的各种可持续发展层面，并支持正在进行的加强透明度的努力，从而间接帮助推动国家层面的改革。
