President Ranil Wickremesinghe criticized the Global North's reluctance to fund climate change mitigation efforts and proposed a global levy on tax evasion assets to finance climate initiatives.
Speaking at the 10th World Water Forum in Bali, Indonesia, President Ranil Wickremesinghe voiced concerns over the Global North's prioritization of funding conflicts over climate resilience. He highlighted the irony of the Global North's willingness to finance conflicts like the one in Ukraine while showing reluctance to fund measures aimed at averting the death and destruction caused by climate change, as stated by his media division.
President Wickremesinghe proposed the implementation of a global levy, suggesting a 10 percent charge on the annual profits generated from tax evasion assets deposited in tax havens. These assets are estimated to yield around 1.4 trillion dollars per annum.
He further emphasized the importance of redirecting these funds towards climate change mitigation efforts, stressing the urgency of addressing the climate crisis.
