.@Fnac pouvez vous me confirmer que le produit affiché sur votre site (radio réveil) n’existe pas? Je l’ai commandé à deux reprises (une fois directement chez vous, une fois sur market place) en recevant à chaque fois un simple réveil sans radio.

Début du colloque sur la taxe sur les transactions financières #TTF - sortons d’un débat manichéen! La TTF est une taxe efficace, adoptée par pls grandes places financières dans le monde et qui, en France, finance la solidarité internationale. Vers une coalition internationale ?

Powerful convo with PM @jonasgahrstore at #GlobalCitizenNOW :
🌴 announcing an additional 60M$ for the Amazon Fund
👩🍳 making sure the #G20 supports clean cooking and the @IEA initiative
🏦 and planning on a « record pledge » for #IDA21 (along the lines of the 🇩🇰 40% increase ?)

.@CyrilRamaphosa’s #G20 will feature the just energy transition among its priorities. For the EU & @vonderleyen, this will mean to keep on track with the Green Deal and its own climate commitments but also to step up globally. Rendez-vous next year in South Africa!

Happening now in Rio: @vonderleyen & @CyrilRamaphosa w. @GlblCtzn are launching a new campaign to scale up #RenewableEnergy in Africa, contributing to the COP28 target of 3xRE by 2030. To reduce emissions, to provide cheap, clean energy & fight energy poverty. #GlobalCitizenNOW🧵

What does this have to do with #IDA? A lot: IDA is a lifeline for currently 77 countries, mostly in Africa, on economic growth, climate adaptation, food security & much more. It’s also very effective: S. Korea, Turkey, China and others went from IDA recipients to donors.

Early start for a great discussion today on #IDA21 and Germany’s role in the 🌍! Thanks to MdB Hagedorn for hosting us, to @WorldBank’s Ajay Banga and @RESCUEorg ‘s @DMiliband for joining and our partners @ONECampaign. Chancellor Scholz wants 🇩🇪 to be a reliable global partner…

Minister Schulze: « We need to increase finance and this must include taxation, such as the G20 idea of a tax on the ultra rich. » - PM Mottley: « Who is ‘we’? »
We’d need to hear the same from chancellor Scholz. The coalition shouldn’t be an excuse not to take action.

Head of the @theGCF @MafaldaDuarte at #HSC : We need additional levies and taxes to fund the fight against climate change. This is not a technical problem, many options exist. It’s about political will.
We couldn’t agree more! For more, go here: media.globalcitizen.org/Fina…

We can and must go much faster!

Chancellor Scholz at the #HSC - « Europe is a reliable partner » BUT public resources are limited, private sector is key. This is not how Germany can rebuild trust and show leadership. For several reasons:

La carte qu’on a tous en tête depuis dimanche, mais en réalité tout se joue dimanche prochain. Il est encore possible de faire reculer le brun - tout dépend de candidats comme @EmilieChandler @RebeccaBreitman @MonettiGraig et d’autres. Encore 2,5h pour être à la hauteur!

For those worried for the financial sector: market making is exempted, the tax exists in many financial hubs such as London and Hong Kong (bringing in way more revenue) and is among the oldest in the world (since 1694 in the 🇬🇧).

Rappelons aussi que le secteur financier se porte très bien, malgré la #TTF (une taxe qui existe depuis le 17e siècle au 🇬🇧), et que la tenue de marché est exemptée pour ne pas entraver la liquidité. Une taxe indolore mais qui pourrait nous permettre d'↗️ l'aide au développement.

Mais on peut encore aller plus loin. La taxe aujourd'hui a un taux de 0,3% en 🇫🇷, contre 0,5% au 🇬🇧 (taux augmenté par Margaret Thatcher pour la petite histoire!!). Rappelons que vous payez 20% de TVA sur toute autre transaction (acheter un 👕...) et 5,5% sur votre 🥖. #TTF

Comment c'est possible que 3mrds€ échappent au fisc chaque année? Près de 100€ par seconde? Surtout qu'il s'agit de la taxe sur les transactions financières qui finance aussi le budget de la solidarité internationale de la 🇫🇷-100€ en moins, ce sont 20 enfants non vaccinés...🧵

☕️ Taxation breakfast! @GuilSMello from the 🇧🇷 Finance ministry very clear: taxing the ultra rich makes sense in itself, but also because it would help us raise the funds to fight #hunger and #climatechange. The #climatemergency won’t go away just like this.

Impressive panel at the #SpringMeetings to discuss why taxing the ultra ultra rich makes sense and is needed now, with i.a. Esther Duflo, Joseph Stiglitz and Gabriel Zucman. 🧵

Where’s the money? Global Citizen has 6 concrete ideas of how to mobilize the finance (especially grants!) to fight climate change globally, help poor countries eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Here’s the how-to-guide for #G20 leaders : media.globalcitizen.org/Fina…

Nobel Prize Esther Duflo reminds us that we are not powerless in the face of hunger and that famines are always man made. Most importantly we know what works to fight hunger and poverty! #springmeetings #g20 #brazil

It’s Spring Meetings week! Start it with reading this @Forbes article 👇🏻by @micksheldrick : how France and Macron can bounce back after cutting the aid budget massively. Spoiler: using the French tax on buying shares, a tiny tax with a huge impact! #FTT #ODA #france
The French government slashed its development budget by €742 million, the largest cut in a decade, contradicting Macron's pledges to lead on poverty reduction, climate action, and biodiversity preservation.
Learn more about the issue from @micksheldrick 👇forbes.com/sites/globalcitiz…

France just cut international development aid, after trailblazing on global financial reform and spearheading important replenishments. Why? Especially if Macron could easily strengthen the Financial Transaction Tax and use the proceeds for development and climate…

World Bank needs to be able to address poverty reduction, food security, pandemics & climate change all together - all challenges are intertwined. In terms of #climatefinance : 50% needs to go to #adaptation and more also for #methane reduction. #COP28

We now need to urgently deliver! We need to send the right signals from #COP28: the ambition of #MDBs on #climateaction is still strong. @EIB decided to pull out of #fossilfuels in 2019. It’s not easy but necessary now. @wernerhoyer at #MDB panel w @katehamptongray

.@AlokSharma_RDG : Yes there are technical issues but they can be overcome. We need to send a political signal this morning. The #SDR general issuance 2 years ago was historic, but only 5% went to Africa and wealthy nations don’t use theirs. This is unacceptable.

SDRs can really make the difference, also on #foodsecurity and #adaptation. Let’s not wait for another COP before taking action ! @IFAD President Lario’s very clear words this morning. Good reminder that IFAD is also a prescribed holder of SDRs, alongside MDBs.

#SDR event at #COP28 today: a concrete way of ↗️ #climatefinance for the green transition. France & Spain among the biggest champions but given ECB restrictions, we need others to embrace MDB rechanneling of SDRs. 👋 Who’s out there? You’re given a great opp on a silver plate!

.@ABLPGastonbrown at #COP28: We cannot sustain a global culture where profits are giving a priority over people and the planet. We must forge a new paradigm of sustainability. The @fossiltreaty is our opportunity to be on the right side of history!

Good morning ! Day 3 at #COP28 - and the oil and gas industry has already made 16B$ since we arrived. Let’s tax their profits, fund #ClimateAction at scale and agree to phase out all #fossilfuels. What to watch today? The @fossiltreaty initiative & the new task force on taxation!
