Presenting 'cap and share': a significant new proposal for funding climate justice, and exploring its potential impacts in Africa
Where could the money come from to fund climate action, reparations and redistribution in every country? And how can we ensure that climate mitigation and climate justice can proceed hand in hand?
Cap and share is a mitigation and redistributive finance system that aims to provide part of the answer. It offers a radical but practical solution that could halt fossil fuel extraction, fund a global green transition, and return extracted wealth to communities all over the world.
Equal Right will present their new discussion paper – 'Climate Justice Without Borders: Cap and share as a mitigation and climate finance solution'. The team will be joined by a panel of Africa-based climate justice experts and activists to respond to the proposal and provide insights as to how cap and share could impact their communities.
Moderator and speakers for the event will be announced shortly.
