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 ?

Ravie de faire partie de ce colloque qui arrive à point nommé: la France à la recherche d’un budget 2025 dans lequel elle *pourrait* renforcer la #TTF, notamment pour la solidarité int., et quelques semaines après la #COP29 et la discussion inachevée sur les financements #climat.
🗓️ 𝐉-𝟕 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐪𝐮𝐞 #TTF | En collaboration avec l’Université @SorbonneParis1 et le Centre d’Économie de la Sorbonne, @GHAFrance organise le 11 décembre un colloque sur la taxation des transactions financières.
💬 Cet événement réunira des législateurs, des régulateurs, des universitaires et des acteurs de la société civile pour explorer le potentiel transformateur de la TTF face aux grands défis contemporains et le financement d’une solidarité internationale ambitieuse.

UK🇬🇧 announcing a 40% £ increase to #IDA21 -great news one week before the replenishment and as we still expect major pledges from 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇮🇹 & others! But this doesn’t let 🇬🇧 off the hook on overall #ODA & improving the 2025 budget copy…. @GlblCtzn gov.uk/government/news/new-u…

The core target is now $300B by 2035. While the number sounds huge, it falls short of needs, it's not clearly defined, and maybe not even an increase from today taking into account inflation. Accelerating MDB Reform & using tools such as levies or SDRs would allow us to go above.

#COP29 has ended with an agreement on climate finance that fails to rise to the urgency of the global climate crisis. It's simply not enough and not fast enough, leaving solutions such as levies on polluters on the table.

🚨We have a #NCQG, with much delay and half baked from #COP29 in Baku.
🛣️The good news is: we're now on the road to #Belém, which should deliver the full deal to get to $1.3 trillion (and yes, this is possible! ): unfccc.int/documents/643641 🧵

In the latest #NCQG text, we now have a $250B target for climate finance (climate 💰in general, not just grants). This is simply not enough: not big enough, not good enough, not fast enough. Why? 🧵

You think $1 trillion for climate finance by 2030 sounds huge and unrealistic? Think twice! @GlblCtzn has you covered, with two new reports:

Spoiler: it's not. But first of all: Parabéns Brasil! 🇧🇷 pulled out all the stops at this G20 summit, presenting a bold agenda that hasn't been seen in years. From tackling once-taboo topics such as taxing billionaires to opening its doors to civil society wider than ever!

Question now is who else will come w. a record #IDA21 increase (not a record decrease! worthwhile underlining in today’s context of ODA cuts) to tomorrow’s #G20 summit: 🇬🇧@Keir_Starmer ? 🇫🇷 @EmmanuelMacron ? 🇩🇪 @Bundeskanzler ? The standard : 🇪🇸 +35% and 🇩🇰 +40%!#GlobalCitizenNOW
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 ?)

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🧵

.@LaurenceTubiana : time to become serious about international levies > today, polluters are not the ones paying for climate change. It’s the contrary: the victims of climate change are the ones paying. #G20 needs to support new int levies and the @gsltaskforce! #globalcitizennow

At #GlobalCitizenNow @LaurenceTubiana points out vicious cercle btw debt & climate. We don’t provide enough concessional resources, that’s why #IDA is so important. Debt free financing is key, it’s the grease we need in the system. The #IDA21 replenishment is only 3 weeks away!

This is more important than ever, as hunger barely hasn't declined since COVID after doubling. This Alliance sets out ambitious objectives, for instance on cash transfers & maternal health interventions. Now it needs the full #G20 backing, incl. new and additional 💰 commitments!
🌍🌎🌏Together, we can end hunger and poverty. Introducing the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, a powerful network uniting governments, civil society, international organisations, and private sector partners to tackle two of the world’s greatest challenges. 👇🧶

As #NCQG discussions aren't anywhere close to where they should be, this report shows that levies are at the 💚of the climate finance solution & that momentum is building up, with 17 countries part of a the new Coalition on Solidarity Levies : globalsolidaritylevies.org/a… #COP29
The climate crisis is deepening. More resources are urgently needed for mitigation & adaption - especially in developing & vulnerable countries. Even developed countries face tough fiscal conditions, so it’s only right that the most polluting industries pay their fair share. 1/5

As #COP29 opens, more than 50 CSOs & activists call on the French government to remain a leader: reverting the massive aid cuts & keeping the two historic solidarity taxes (Chirac levy on ✈️& FTT): lemonde.fr/idees/article/202… @Oxfam @ONECampaign @PandemicAction @GlblCtzn @e3g
