Natural resources, #mining in particular, can provide a critical source of public revenue to many countries, but more support is needed to address ineffective policies, tax avoidance and weak governance - should be a key goal for #FFD4
In our latest article, @thomaslassourd.bsky.social calls for #FfD4 to include resource taxation in its agenda, supporting countries to collect vital revenues for the #SDGs, climate, and nature goals.

I will be attending this week's PrepCom 3 - set to expand on discussions on a draft of the outcome document of the upcoming Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development. Looking forward to contributing to the ambitions of this process on domestic resource mobilization!
This week, countries discuss the #FfD4 Outcome Document draft, shaping decisions on financing for climate, nature, and development.

Alexandra Readhead explains why FfD4 matters and how it can align efforts on debt, resource mobilization, and transparency ⬇️
