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.”

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. 🔗 Learn more: solidaritylevies.org/eight-countr...
