5 The dates refer to when these agreements were signed, which is a better reflection of the evolution of thought on PTAs than when they entered into force, which in some cases (e.g., the EU–Mexico FTA, which entered into force in October 2020) did not occur until many years after they were signed.

14 Chronologically: the OECD (June 2009); the G20 (September 2009); Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (November 2009); the United Nations, via Sustainable Development Goal 12.C (September 2015); United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (November 2021). The Leaders of the G7 (then the G7) called for a progressive reduction of fossil fuel subsidies in their July 2009 Summit Declaration, but not again until May 2012. They have reiterated that pledge every year since then.
