Climate Action
The climate crisis isn't in the future, it's here now. Pushing people deeper into poverty. Polluters must pay for the damage they've caused. So all of us can thrive.
The true cost of luxury travel
Join the call for fair taxation of luxury travel
Private jets and superyachts are some of the most polluting ways to travel, yet they fly under the radar when it comes to taxes.
Let’s tax extremely polluting luxury travel to fund urgent action on the climate crisis.
What is Climate Justice?
In our unequal world, the rights of a few to profit from pollution is being protected while the rest of us pay the price.
The world-over, millions of us are speaking out about this injustice. We are calling for climate justice, led by those facing the worst of the climate crisis right now.

The richest 10 percent of the world's population accounted for over half of the emissions added to the atmosphere between 1990 and 2015.
The money needed to help people affected by extreme weather-related emergencies like floods or drought is eight times higher than 20 years ago.
