Global Tax Reform to Produce Financing for Development

Global tax reform designed to serve developing states could unlock revenue for Small Island Developing States and others needing investment for climate resilience, health and education.

In the 1950s, the United Nations served as the forum for ambitious efforts to tax multinationals to deliver the resources developing states needed, but the rise of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in the 1960s curbing the power of poor states to tax multinationals. Recent efforts to shift the center of global tax policymaking back to the United Nations, however, could reverse that decades-long trend and generate meaningful resources for developing countries.

On Monday, December 2 from 3:00-4:15PM, join us for a panel event at the Financing for Development Dialogues: From Evidence to Action on global tax reform to finance development.
