In order to ensure that the transition to a sustainable economy is not “behind the poor”, an increasing number of climatic groups carries out a campaign to impose a reserve tax.

Payment Campaign – supported by more than 20 civil society groups such as world friends, national education union and tax justice, the government calls the government to bring a series of reserve tax as an alternative to expenditure deductions. Ultra -rich revenue is one of the campaign attempts that focus on the recovery of the tax regime carried out by the climate groups that say that the investment can finance, disintegrate public services and overcome the climate emergency.

Hannah Martin, the joint director of GND Rising, said, “Our broken tax system is finally to fix its income from assets and reserves to tax their money in the same proportions as the majority of the population that earns from work, and it is a fair thing to do.” “We must tax the explosion of the super -rich to balance our economy and finance our communities, schools and libraries.”

The campaign aims to emphasize the growth of extreme reserve by individuals and companies in the United Kingdom. The government calls for 2% tax for assets over 10 million pounds, closing tax gaps, and increasing the tax paid to the property and stocks to be equal to the income tax of the capital earning tax.

Martin said: “Climate campaignists call for reserve taxes because we have been told ‘no money’ to deal with climate change for years. However, we can see that there is enough money with the public and we need to be stacked by super -rich and pollutant companies. In order to address the cost of climate change and living crises, it means to change the change of the government.

Until 2050, he argued that the poorest in the community was asked to “take steps to cope with the climate crisis” in accordance with plans to reach zero emissions.

The GND Rising’s payment campaign organized a day when more than 200 young people from Ineos, Jim Ratcliffe, Reform Treasurer Nick Candy and Bet365, the founder of Bet365, including the founder of Britain’s ultra -richness. He said he aims to increase his campaign for a more fair tax system during the summer.

Martin said that the climate action should talk with the reality of people’s lives and their anger in the inequality they see in their communities ”.

“Climate crisis and economic inequality are the two sides of the same coin, because it is the same broken system that makes billions richer, fueling the climate crisis and leaving people working to take the bill.”

Climate campaignists warned that our demands are rejected by politicians as ‘beautiful’ by politicians, unless they show that the climate action is related to solving the cost of inequality and life crisis, that we have ignored the real pain faced by people and that we have opened our agenda to the attacks of air conditioning serene.
