“Emissions must be priced where they occur, from extraction through supply chains, so products reflect their real environmental cost. The Multilateral Carbon Tax Treaty gives countries the tools to reclaim taxing rights & fund climate goals.” Tatiana Falcão @centreforthesouth.bsky.social

“Oil & gas giants shift nearly a 3rd of their profits to tax havens, draining billions from developing countries, money needed for climate adaptation, health, & education. They must be taxed where profits are made, not where they’re hidden. A #UNTaxConvention can make that real.”

Maritime shipping is the invisible conveyor belt of global consumption, responsible for about 3% of global emissions yet excluded from the Paris Agreement. A global levy on shipping emissions is vital for accountability, #taxjustice must be part of that change.

“The fossil fuel industry is still being rewarded for driving the climate crisis. We must end fossil fuel tax subsidies, reform international tax rules, & strengthen transparency. Our opponents are powerful — we can’t afford to be divided.”

“With political will and public support, Brazil is proving fiscal justice works — taxing offshore wealth, holding multinationals accountable, and ensuring the ultra-rich pay their share. 64% of Brazilians back taxing the super-rich.”

“It’s time to turn the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities into action, taxing where pollution & profit intersect. Fossil fuel giants must pay their fair share through permanent windfall & stronger corporate taxes.”

“Brazil’s tax reform can only fight inequality if it redefines who pays & who’s left behind. As long as most taxes fall on consumption instead of wealth, racial & class divides will persist. Real reform means building equity into every part of taxation.” Luiza Nassif Pires

“#TaxJustice is inseparable from the history of colonialism. Wealth taxes must act not only as economic tools, but as reparative justice, essential to decolonising the global economy & meeting historic responsibilities for the #ClimateCrisis.”
Ohene Yaw Ampofo-Anti, SAIFAC
