Last week, civil society organisations mobilised online and offline during the Global Week of Action for Climate Finance and a Fossil-Free Future, calling on global north governments to meet their climate finance obligations in full. 

While hundreds of billions of tax revenues are lost every year due to tax dodging, the need for public climate finance becomes ever more urgent. A global tax deal can make polluters pay their fair share of taxes and for compensating the damage they cause.

Today's decision by the Court of Justice of the European Union demonstrates that the international system for taxing multinational corporations continues to be deeply complex, unpredictable and unfair.

Eurodad welcomes the historic decision by the UN to negotiate a UN Tax Convention and two further protocols. In response to the vote, Eurodad's tax expert, Tove Maria Ryding, called the decision a 'beacon of hope for a fair and efficient global tax system.'

After almost three weeks of intense discussions, United Nations Member States will vote on the Terms of Reference for a new UN Convention on Tax at 15h EDT today. 

Eurodad's Tax Coordinator reacts to the new negotiating draft for the UN Tax Convention.

In mid-2025, the world’s governments will gather in Spain for the 4th United Nations Summit on Financing for Development (FfD). It will be a key moment to assess the fairness and efficiency of global economic governance, and for world leaders to address underlying systemic issues and challenges. With this in mind, it is high time to ask: how is it going with financing for development? In this report, we assess the situation with a specific focus on debt management, domestic resource mobilisation and illicit financial flows in nine focus countries: Bangladesh, Ecuador, Grenada, Kenya, Morocco, Nepal, Peru, Philippines, Zambia.
