UN Tax Convention: Intervention by Katie Tobin 

On May 1st, during the first substantive session of the Ad Hoc Committee to develop terms of reference for a new UN Framework Convention on Tax, WEDO's Senior Program Manager Katie Tobin delivered an intervention to the Committee calling for a feminist structural approach to taxation of corporations and high-net-worth individuals directly responsible for the climate crisis.
These negotiations, ongoing from April 26 - May 8 2024, will determine the scope and parameters of the UN Tax Convention: a potentially transformative step towards rewriting the global rules on taxation, which could enable countries of the Global Majority to raise urgently-needed revenue for climate action and social spending.
