“We need the UK to show leadership at this critical time.”

By Greenpeace

The world’s elite are getting richer, and fossil fuel giants make billions in profit whilst poverty rises, and the climate crisis destroys lives and nature around the globe.

Luckily, countries are coming together at the UN Tax Convention next month. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to rewrite global tax rules so that we can properly tax polluting companies and the super-rich. If it works, this could unlock trillions for climate action and sustainable development.

We need the UK to show leadership at this critical time. Campaigners are holding a briefing in parliament on the 3rd February to get MPs up to speed.

Please, will you email your MP now and urge them to attend the event and champion this vital issue?
