Brazil, which chairs the G20 group of the world\u2019s largest economies, first proposed a tax on the super-rich at a meeting of finance ministers in February. Now, finance chiefs from Germany, Spain and South Africa have joined Brazil in fleshing out the proposal which could see the world\u2019s 3,000 billionaires made to pay a minimum 2 per cent levy on their wealth.<\/p>\n<p>The finance ministers say that a 2 per cent minimum wealth tax could, according to estimates, unlock an additional $250 billion (\u20ac233 bn) in annual tax revenues globally. An appealing part of the plan is that this extra money could be applied to some of the world\u2019s greatest public needs and injustices, including climate change. They say that \u20ac233 billion is roughly the amount of economic damages caused by extreme weather events last year.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the world is still a long way from shaking hands on an international wealth tax. French economist Gabriel Zucman is now putting together the technical details of a plan that will be discussed by the G20 in June, The Guardian reports.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/04\/25\/a-good-start-germany-spain-and-france-propose-billionaire-tax-to-help-tackle-climate-crisi\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-508\/\">\u2018A good start\u2019: Germany, Spain and France propose billionaire tax to help tackle climate crisis<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[5557,575,14307,1812],"class_list":["post-130033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-billionaire","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-super-rich","tag-tax"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130033"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130033\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
