As the planet burns and the rich grow richer, the link between inequality and environmental destruction becomes undeniable. The richest 1% are responsible for more emissions than 66% of the world’s population, polluting and plundering the planet for their own gain.

To save our planet, we must tackle the root causes of inequality.

There’s enough money for a green and fair world but it’s just in the wrong pockets. It’s time to make rich polluting elites pay!

We urge governments to tax the super-rich now and use those funds to support people and protect the planet.
