Several countries have so far proposed billionaire taxes to raise funds for, among other things, tackling climate change. Earlier this year finance leaders from G20 countries agreed on a wealth tax on the world\u2019s super-rich. It could raise around \u20ac230 billion to tackle causes like climate change and poverty.<\/p>\n<p>Disagreements have been bubbling away under the surface about whether the plan is viable, who would oversee the process, and how to actually introduce a tax on the super-rich. New research has shown that the general population finds it hard to estimate exactly how wealth changes people\u2019s carbon footprint. And that could affect their support for climate policies that would tax the highly polluting activities of the super-rich.<\/p>\n<p>An analysis by Oxfam and researchers in the US from November last year looked at the luxury purchases and financial investments of 12 billionaires. It found that they account for almost 17 million tonnes of greenhouse gases each year &#8211; the same as 2.1 million average homes or 4.6 coal-fired power plants annually. Previous research has also shown that the wealthiest 1 per cent of people contribute more emissions than two-thirds of all humanity. It turns out that people struggle to estimate how wealth impacts personal carbon footprints. This could impact their support for climate policies targeting the wealthy.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/09\/18\/poland-hungary-romania-leaders-say-fatal-floods-bear-fingerprints-of-climate-change\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-595\/\">\u2018Common sense solution\u2019: How taxes on yachts and private jets could fund climate action<\/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":[1290,575,14307],"class_list":["post-133847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-climate-policy","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-super-rich"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133847","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=133847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133847\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
