Packing our bags, heading to Sevilla for the UN Conference on Financing for Development #FfD4, where we expect a lot of EU ministers to give speeches about how we need to support "investors" to finance development. Those "investors" could start by paying tax #TaxJustice #UNTaxConvention

Pros of a UN Tax Convention, from @toveryding.bsky.social @eurodadnews.bsky.social:
✔️ Fairer, more inclusive space (OECD is ruled by wealthy countries).
✔️ While topics like climate and human rights are addressed at the UN, financing aspects are missing.
✔️ Strengthen accountability and transparency.

Very important points by @josephestiglitz.bsky.social Couldn't agree more - including on the role the US plays in international negotiations (the UN climate negotiations provide a painful example). With the US out, the road is clear - towards an fair, effective and ambitious #UNTaxConvention
‘Europe must engage meaningfully in the negotiations for a @un.org #TaxConvention’ @josephestiglitz.bsky.social at the Oxfam conference in Rome, also joined by @jayatighosh.bsky.social & @martinguzman.bsky.social. ‘It's probably a good thing that 🇺🇸 left the negotiating table,' he added.
