Tax Justice UK, Oxfam GB and Global Witness have developed a policy platform ‘Taxing Polluters: for a fairer, greener society’.

Make the biggest polluters pay for the damage they’ve caused – from the fossil fuel industry to the super wealthy. This would would help improve living standards for ordinary people, provide support for communities worst hit by extreme weather, and incentivise the rapid adoption of cheap, secure, clean energy technologies.

Carbon emissions from the world's biggest 25 oil companies caused an estimated £15 trillion worth of economic damage globally from 1985 to 2018.
