–  Can an EU-wide tax on extreme wealth finance the socio-ecological transformation? –

April 4, 2024

10:00 – 11:30 CET

Why are youth and climate activists talking about a wealth tax?

There’s a growing interest and debate about a European-wide wealth tax from both academia and civil society. Could this be a viable tool to enable a greener and fairer Europe? How could it be designed? Are there already good practices in Europe? What could we learn from them? How could the youth, environmental and climate movements support it? Climate Action Network Europe, the European Environmental Bureau and the European Youth Forum are inviting their members to discuss and explore a wealth tax as a game changer for Europe with experts in the field. This interactive session is your chance to become an informed voice in this important discussion. 

Don’t miss out on this crucial conversation! This is just the first of a series focused on taxation options to finance the socio-ecological transformation.
