Rule 1 of the global tax system is you tax multinational corporations where they SAY their profits are, not where they MAKE profit. Most countries backed flipping this 100-year-old rule in recent UN tax talks, to finally end the era of global tax abuse

#COP30 is underway as countries debate how to fund real climate action. The question isn’t just what they commit to, but who pays. Meanwhile in Nairobi, talks on #UNTaxConvention may give nations the power to raise fair, reliable finance for #ClimateJustice & sustainable dev.

“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

“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.”

“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.”

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.

“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.”

“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

“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.”
