This week world leaders made commitments to fulfil rights at #WSS2. But this won’t happen without money.

We’re now looking at Nairobi where the UN Tax Convention #UNTC negotiations are resuming on Monday - it could be the key to deliver on those commitments.

The Most Hopeful Economic Story That’s Not in the News A new tax treaty is a chance for needed change.

🔎 Watch this space for more in-depth learnings from the #UNTC negotiations next week ❗️

🔟 Current dispute mechanisms often favour Global North states and multinationals, leaving Global South countries without resources for rights, gender justice, climate action, and the #SDGs. The #UNTC can level the playing field. Tomorrow: Protocol II.

It’s time to flip the system. Make them pay to protect people and the planet.

Billionaires do not need more tax breaks, especially when the world is on fire.

Right now, a few rich countries help billionaires & Big Oil avoid paying fair share of tax while the rest of us lose out. The #UNTaxConvention can flip the script for fair taxes and a fair future.

Time to make them pay what they owe.

🎥 “No country can do this alone.”

At the #UNTaxConvention negotiating session, our Research and Policy Lead, María Emilia Mamberti, calls for effective taxation of high-net-worth individuals, not just stopping evasion.

📅 Monday, Aug 4: A historic moment for global tax justice.

🌍 The first substantive negotiations of the #UNTaxConvention began today, with all Member States reaffirming their commitment to this landmark process.

Here are 6 key takeaways from Day 1 ⬇️

#TaxJustice #UNTC

When we say "billionaires should not exist." what we mean is: Everyone should have healthcare. Everyone should have housing, Everyone should have access to good food and clean water. Billionaires are a policy failure.

Your disabled neighbour has lost their support so a billionaire doesn't have to pay a wealth tax. Your best friend's mental health support is cut so a billionaire doesn't have to pay a wealth tax. Your grandad with dementia is losing his carer so a billionaire doesn't have to pay a wealth tax. Your sons special needs teaching assistant is laid off so a billionaire doesn't have to pay a wealth tax.

Resist the billionaires takeover

This is why the united nations tax convention is so important.

Right now, a few rich countries help billionaires & Big Oil dodge tax while the rest of us lose out. The #UNTaxConvention can flip the script for fair taxes and a fair future.

Time to make them pay what they owe.
