Even future generations are affected through the damaging effects of increased energy consumption on global warming.

This book provides (1) the most comprehensive estimates of energy subsidies currently available for 176 countries and (2) an analysis of a how to doa energy subsidy reform drawing on insights from 22 country case studies undertaken by the IMF staff and analyses carried out by other institutions.
