Heute stimmt die @UN über die Resolution ab, die den Weg zur neuen Steuerkonvention festlegt. Ein Meilenstein der internationalen Beziehungen! Deutschland muss unbedingt dafür stimmen!!
@EUatUN @GermanyUN @BROT_furdiewelt @DGVN_de @steuergerecht @GA4TJ @Oxfam_DE @toveryding
Neue @UN-#Steuerkonvention ist ein Meilenstein im Kampf gegen schädlichen #Steuerwettbewerb.
Die 🇩🇪 #Bundesregierung soll die Verhandlungen in #NewYork konstruktiv vorantreiben!

On the 80th anniversary of the Bretton Woods Conference, it should be recalled that fundamental reforms of the international financial architecture are overdue. Deeper #Worldbank reform is one example.

"Stop defaulting on development" was a good conclusion by @marina
"We don't need piecemeal reforms, we need a new financial architecture and ending austerity". Strong statements at @IMFNews #SpringMeetings. Thanks to our great speakers and partners at @globalpolicy cosponsored event on solving the debt crises.

Released before the adoption of the Evolution Roadmap, our briefing paper still shows how big the gap between stakeholder aspirations and the agreed reforms is.
#WorldBank reform remains unfinished biz!
Main need: accelerated governance reform, shift away from focus on leveraging private financing, mainstreaming of #HumanRights approach, more #transparency & #accountability, & rapid phase-out of #fossil energy financing.

Great discussion. Thanks @RecourseTeam for convening us.
Brilliant way to wrap up to our #Berlin meetings for #Eurotour2024! Many thanks to German and Berlin-based orgs @urgewald @e3g @globalpolicy @BoellStiftung for meeting with us and supporting the calls for #MDBReform, to #HoldMDBsAccountable and for a #JustTransitionNOW!

How to speed up debt relief and get all creditors to participate? @erlassjahr and friends present technical solutions but the real obstacles seem to be political. Any ideas how to overcome them?
At the @IMFNews & @WorldBank Annual Meetings now, listening to Malawi, whose finance minister stresses that debt cancellation (not new loans) is key to creating fiscal space. The current system is perverse as it puts debt service over all other spending needs. @globalpolicy
Great to see how @sehnazkb connects the dots between gender justice and tax and debt architecture reform at @Bundestag debate with @BMZ_Bund minister @SvenjaSchulze68 and @wernerhoyer
We are kicking off the second halftime of Agenda 2030, in challenging debates with decision-makers in Berlin. Let's learn from our failures and get serious about it! @globalpolicy @ForumUE @DGVN_de
It was our pleasure to have met German Environment Minister @SteffiLemke in New York. Good discussions about #JustTransition, #ClimateAction at the margins of @UN #SDG Summit. @BMUV @globalpolicy @ForumUE
Germany's @SvenjaSchulze68 presents vision for World Bank reform at the @UN FfD dialogue. For us @globalpolicy, this should result in a @WorldBank that is fairly governed, is guided by human rights, and reverses the cascade to put public finance first.
#UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres opens the #FfD High-Level Dialogue, calls for a 500bn per year #SDG stimulus package and effective multilateral debt workout mechanism.
Great to hear @UN from Spanish socialist @PiliCancela that Spain supports more voice and vote for the global South in international financial architecture reform. @SvenjaSchulze68 @BMZ_Bund @fesnewyork
Great discussion on economic justice and international financial reform at Global #PeoplesAssembly. Amazing panel @JasonBraganza1 @chenaimukumba @IbonInternatl @SeatiniU @cs_ffd
Great to see that tax governance reforms are moving forward. This UN report is another milestone in the global campaign for tax justice. We at @globalpolicy are proud to be part of it with our allies @TaxJusticeNet @GA4TJ @eurodad @TaxJusticeAfric @steuergerecht and many others.
The UN Secretary-General has today set out his highly anticipated proposals for a UN framework convention on tax, putting the global tax system on course for the biggest shake-up in history.

That week in Paris was an emotional rollercoaster of international advocacy 😉
#NewGlobalFinancingPact Summit in #Paris:
Quest for more & better #development #finance, but still long way to go to ensure Financial Pact that actually delivers!
Our take on deliberations in @globalpolicy series - "On the road to #FfD4": globalpolicy.org/en/news/202…
#FfD #Fin4Dev
ALT The much-hyped Summit for a New Global Financial Pact took place in Paris during the third week of June. Convened by French President Macron in loose cooperation with Mia Mottley – the Prime Minister of Barbados and the mother of the “Bridgetown Initiative to reform the International Financial Architecture” – the objective was to find new ways to fill the mounting gaps in cross-border development and climate finance. This is our take on the deliberations, including a reality check two weeks after the Summit.
