The Global Solidarity Levies Task Force is working to advance solidarity levies as a means of raising critical climate and development finance.

This initiative is grounded in the polluter pays principle and as such the Task Force opened a consultation to establish a transparent and efficient mechanism for channeling the revenues from solidarity levies to poorer and more vulnerable countries for climate and development purposes.
Specifically the consultation is aimed at identifying options that are based on: 
  • Feasibility and institutional readiness 
  • Ability to provide financial incentives to developing countries 
  • Potential for leveraging additional resources 
  • Transparency, governance, and accountability measures 
  • Speed and efficiency of disbursement

Consultation

Results
The Call for Proposals received interest from a range of stakeholders, including some that appear ready to quickly implement operational solutions, thus demonstrating the rapid impact of solidarity levies and that it is possible to make coordinated progress as a coalition of the willing. Out of the 15 submissions received, 11 were made with permission to publish on the GSLTF website.
