The Global Solidarity Levies Task Force was set up after COP28 and is supported by the UN, World Bank, G20, European Commission, and the African Union. The task force experts have now set out sixteen specific levy ideas for public consultation that could raise billions annually, covering aviation, fossil fuels, carbon pricing, shipping, financial transactions, plastic polymers, cryptocurrencies, and high-net-worth individuals. Some of these taxes already exist in several countries, making a broad international rollout within reach.

According to the Task Force website: “There is a significant gap between current financing and the levels required to meet the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement, and the Global Biodiversity Framework…. [we are] developing options for internationally coordinated levies to help close this gap - ensuring that the most polluting industries and activities that have benefited most from globalisation contribute their fair share.”

On the subject of COP30, it's very good news to know that Brazil has appointed a veteran climate diplomat with no direct ties to the fossil fuel industry to be the next COP president.

For the first time in 3 years, the COP30 president (who plays a crucial role in shaping the agenda and brokering deals) will not hail from the fossil fuel sector. Corrêa do Lago has been Secretary for Climate, Energy and Environment at Brazil’s foreign ministry and Brazil’s chief climate negotiator since 2023.

The Global Solidarity Levies Task Force: For People and the Planet was launched in November 2023 by Barbados, France and Kenya.

It is supported by a Coalition for Solidarity Levies where countries can follow, consult and engage with the task force’s work. These members of the Coalition are Barbados, France, Kenya, Antigua & Barbuda, Colombia, Denmark, Djibouti, Fiji, Marshall Islands, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Spain, and Zambia.

third entry in catw, the arawak hustler! i had fun researching this one!! 💙 ^^ another two facts I couldn't fit in, are that they have a 5 digit chassis code, corresponding to year of production and unit number. for example, 79015 would be the 15th unit produced in 1979. the second fact, is that the hustler is one of very few vehicles to have the unusual swing-arm front suspension setup, as it borrows running gear from the hillman imp - however, the frame and body were fabricated within Antigua!

Gaston Browne’s goons are out in full force to enforce the illegal enclosure of the Barbudan commons. This is what the Caribbean political class that talks “reparations” and “climate justice” truly represents.
