{"title":"Reviewing the implementation design of energy subsidy reforms: insights from novel cross-country data","authors":"Mauricio Böhl Gutierrez,Daniele Malerba","doi":"10.1080/14693062.2026.2734325","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14693062.2026.2734325","url":null,"abstract":"Over the past two decades, energy subsidy reforms have increasingly gained importance as mitigation measures to fight climate change. Still, many countries subsidize fossil energy consumption, and reforms are often short-lived. This paper presents harmonized cross-country data on the design of energy subsidy reforms, obtained from a structured literature review of both implemented and failed consumption subsidy reforms between 1978 and 2021. This standardized data enables the identification and validation of key design characteristics, including the motivation for reform, the use of gradual approaches, communication strategies, pricing mechanisms, and social protection measures, as well as their use in implementing reforms. The data highlight significant regional heterogeneity and emphasize the importance of context-specificity in shaping reform designs. The study also demonstrates the connection between key aspects of reform design and reform implementation, as well as associations with subsidy levels. It offers lessons for middle-income countries, especially those planning to implement carbon pricing policies. Lastly, this paper lays the groundwork for future research to explore these factors in greater detail; one avenue is to link design characteristics and political economy factors. KEY POLICY INSIGHTS Many reforms fail to reduce subsidies sustainably, a pattern strongly linked to the pricing mechanisms that countries use. Automatic pricing systems and even liberalised prices can still generate subsidies, as the data on subsidy levels suggests, while government-controlled prices often lead to repeated reforms. Gradual subsidy removal improves implementation success compared to one-off approaches, especially in regions with fragile fiscal structures. Government-controlled pricing mechanisms are more often represented in successful implementations. Higher-income countries are better able to manage more complex reforms, such as automatic or liberalized pricing systems. Other insights from energy subsidy reforms are also relevant for countries – especially low- and middle-income nations – considering carbon pricing.","PeriodicalId":48114,"journal":{"name":"Climate Policy","volume":"167 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149152806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs) and similar local climate plans are widely adopted, yet implementation tends to reflect political feasibility and institutional capacity more than stated sustainability goals. This paper presents a participatory multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) framework designed to support municipalities in prioritizing climate and energy actions under such constraints. The framework integrates five dimensions – environmental, economic, social, technical and institutional – while explicitly incorporating political acceptability, implementation capacity and cross-sectoral synergies. Applied to SECAPs of Zagreb (Croatia), Maribor (Slovenia) and Litoměřice (Czechia), it reveals systematic misalignments between declared ambitions and implicit planning priorities. Results show that institutional and economic feasibility dominate decision-making, while environmental and social benefits are often underweighted. Sensitivity testing highlights how different decision-makers’ value orientations shift action rankings, yet the stability of top priorities demonstrates the framework’s robustness. By identifying overlooked synergies, the framework enables more transparent, inclusive and cost-effective planning. More than 80% of actions across case cities also exhibited untapped synergies between mitigation and adaptation. Unlike conventional benchmarking tools, it provides municipalities with a lightweight, replicable method for both ex-ante prioritization and ex-post evaluation of local climate plans. Beyond immediate planning support, the framework strengthens institutional learning, enhances policy coherence and helps align local implementation with broader national and EU climate objectives.","PeriodicalId":48114,"journal":{"name":"Climate Policy","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149003574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
