Emmanuel Macron was the exceptional guest of franceinfo, RFI but also France 24, Friday June 23 at 8:30 a.m., just before the closing of the summit for a new global financial pact which is held in Paris. The President of the Republic was asked about the challenge of ecological transition and the aid provided to developing countries in order to face the climate emergency and the fight against poverty.
Towards “international taxation”? The Head of State called for a great mobilization to finance the fight against poverty and the climate. He mentioned the introduction of an international tax on the carbon emissions of the maritime transport industry, which was at the heart of the discussions at the Paris summit.
The reform of the financial system on the program. The leaders, gathered Thursday and Friday in Paris by Emmanuel Macron, discussed the restructuring of the debt of poor countries vulnerable to climate change but also the reform of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. The role of the private sector and new taxes – on the carbon emissions of the shipping industry in particular – were also on the agenda.
Emmanuel Macron calls for a “public funding shock”. The President of the Republic urged, Thursday at the opening of the summit, to “invest a lot more”. He also conceded that the international community was not “not at the rendezvous” major challenges of poverty, climate and biodiversity.
