Tax justice stakeholders will convene for the Sustainable Climate Finance and Taxation in Africa Civil Society Learning Event from October 30 to November 1, 2024, in Nairobi, Kenya.
This learning event will bring together civil society actors across Africa focused on tax justice, climate justice, and natural resource justice, aiming to break down silos and foster collective advocacy for sustainable climate finance reform in the region.
Organised by TJNA, the event seeks to establish guiding principles for sustainable natural resource governance and advocate for climate and tax justice, including national tax measures addressing climate change in Africa. Participants will focus on advancing sustainable natural resource governance through tax justice, exploring international taxation concepts, and finalizing an outcome statement.
Key discussions will explore foundational principles of climate and tax justice, environmental taxes, and the effectiveness of carbon taxes in Africa. Participants will also examine how Africa should respond to international climate tax measures and identify influential players in global climate policy.
Additionally, participants will map out advocacy strategies to support progressive national tax measures for environmental sustainability, analyze carbon pricing agreements in Africa, and address illicit financial flows in the natural resource sector to promote a just transition. This event aligns with TJNA’s mission to advocate for policies that empower Africa to sustainably harness its resources for its people's benefit.
The event is part of TJNA’s ongoing efforts to promote a just, prospering, and self-reliant Africa by advocating for policies that ensure the continent can sustainably harness its resources for the betterment of its people.
