Laurence Tubiana on the international coalition for solidarity levies on aviation launched at #FfD4:
“New levies on premium flyers can raise vital funds for climate and development. In the current context, everybody is pessimistic... Today’s announcement is proof that we can make progress.”
🇰🇪 President Ruto at #FfD4:
“The Global Solidarity Levies Task Force ... has explored innovative sources of finance, such as [levies] on aviation."
"What we need here is political will. We cannot keep talking about change without implementing it. The world is watching and expecting real outcomes.”
At #FfD4, President Macron called on countries to join the coalition on taxation of premium air travel:
"We need global solidarity levies [...] and for critical sectors that have benefited from globalisation to contribute more.”
“I urge all possible countries to join this international framework.”
A new aviation solidarity coalition on premium flyers has been launched at #FFD4 by France, Kenya, Barbados, Spain, Somalia, Benin, Sierra Leone and Antigua & Barbuda, with support from the EU Commission.
