Without Borders:
Cap and Share as a mitigation and climate finance solution

The report sets out a plan for a cap and share system that would tackle the climate crisis, fund a transformational global Green New Deal, and drastically reduce levels of international poverty and inequality.

A ‘cap and share’ system would involve the introduction of a ‘cap’ on fossil fuels, along with a fee paid ‘at source’ for extraction. Proceeds from this make polluters pay, and then share the resulting wealth amongst communities and citizens.
