Inequality kills.
It kills people. It kills climate action.
"As the IPCC notes, the 10% wealthiest households globally contribute up to 45% of consumption-based household GHG #emissions. The bottom 50% – four billion people, many of whom face severe #EnergyInsecurity – contribute just 13-15%.
Crucially, whatever additional revenues are generated by progressive wealth and income taxes must be used to protect the most vulnerable groups."
