We have seen that news a few days ago already and it's mentioned in this article right away why the number is high:
Fossil-fuel subsidies surged to a record $7 trillion last year as governments supported consumers and businesses during the global spike in energy prices caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the economic recovery from the pandemic.
Another news article mentioned the increase was in 2022 compared to 2020. We don't know the 'real' numbers without the Russian invasion but if that survey is done every two years, it might look completely different and way better in 2024 and we're currently only having a temporary skewed statistic.
