climate change Saudi Arabia's Finance Minister Mohammed al-Jadaan declared at this week's World Economic Forum meeting that an international carbon tax can only be fully realized if it is implemented on the world's population.
inside panel discussion Addressing the World Economic Outlook on Friday at the WEF's annual general meeting in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, Al-Jadaan argued that a global carbon tax is needed to solve the envisioned climate crisis. .
A Saudi politician said: “There is no real solution to climate change other than a globally coordinated carbon tax system.”
Al-Jadaan rejects the idea that such a system would hit poor and developing countries hardest by stunting industrial growth and increasing inflation, and said that unless climate change is stopped by international intervention, , argued that these countries would face even worse outcomes.
“There's a perception that it's unfair, that it's unfair, that it's going to lead to inflation. In fact, it's quite the opposite. If we don't do that, it's the developing countries that will ultimately suffer the most. They're the ones that will be the most affected by climate change. I will take it,” he said.
“What we need is a system of carbon taxes combined with subsidies for developing households, and a flow of funds to developing countries, with investments and mitigation to help them continue to grow. It allows us to work on adaptation. And that's a real opportunity,” Al-Jadaan continued.
“This is a fair solution, the only real solution, and we cannot continue to ignore it,” he concluded.

The two leaders said such a system would start by covering global financial transactions and expand to include air and sea transport. The increased taxes will be directed to African countries and other developing countries to help alleviate the alleged effects of climate change.
“It's essential if we want real results because we need to raise more money to fight inequality and fight climate change,” Macron said.
Macron's proposal is This was echoed by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who said in her COP28 speech that to meet the goals of the globalist green agenda “we need more… We have to move from billions to trillions.”
President of the EU He also called for an expansion of carbon pricing, a key element of the European Green Deal, which imposes a tax on emissions to pressure companies to reduce their so-called carbon emissions. The German politician claimed that over the past 20 years, the EU has collected €175 billion in taxes from private companies towards environmental policies.
