Readers Opinions

Doug Koplow Bio

Doug Koplow founded Earth Track in 1999 to more effectively integrate information on energy subsidies.

For nearly 20 years, Koplow has written extensively on natural resource subsidies for organisations such as the Global Subsidies Initiative, the National Commission on Energy Policy, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Greenpeace, the Alliance to Save Energy, and the US Environmental Protection Agency. He has analysed scores of government programmes and contributed important developments in subsidy valuation techniques. Recently he produced a comprehensive report on biofuel subsidies in the United States for the Global Subsidies Initiative.

That report is available from the GSI website at www.globalsubsidies.org.
