UN climate finance consultation - opportunity to promote UN Tax Convention asks

[Dominic Eagleton]

Hi all,

I case you hadn’t seen it, the UNFCCC has opened a consultation on its new climate finance work programme.

This seems a good opportunity to promote the UN Tax Convention as a vehicle to raise additional, debt-free resources for climate finance at no cost to ordinary taxpayers.

E.g. through a surtax on the global-level profits of polluting industries, and through unitary taxation.

Deadline for submission is 27 April, to: climate...@unfccc.int

I’m probably not on all the right listservs, so please share with folks who might be keen to submit & make the case for linking UNFCCC to UNTC 🙏

It would be great for climate negotiators to hear the call for joining dots with the UN Tax Convention from as many voices as possible! 📣

cheers,

Dom
