Global Solidarity Levies Task Force

Launched at COP28 in November 2023, and co-chaired by Barbados, France and Kenya, the Global Solidarity Levies Task Force: For People and the Planet explores feasible, scalable and sensible options for levies to raise additional resources for climate and development. These levies can be implemented to help the world reach the Sustainable Development Goals and fulfill its Paris Agreement commitments.

The key aims of the task force are to foster political will around options for progressive levies to support climate and development action, and to bring together coalitions of willing countries to become frontrunners for implementing specific progressive levy options.

The task force will help ensure industries and individuals contribute more to financing the fight against climate change, based on the pollution they produce, while bringing equitable climate justice to our current financial system. The task force will consult with experts across disciplines and countries in the Coalition for Solidarity Levies, which supports the task force. All countries and sub-national governments with fiscal autonomy are invited to join the coalition and advocate for their preferred levies.
