Experts say meeting the 1.5 degree target – the most ambitious goal in the 2015 Paris climate deal – means slashing global emissions nearly in half by 2030 and to “net-zero” by 2050. The official expressed hope that the summit would commit “to end overseas financing of coal”, offer “positive language” on decarbonising the power sector and see more countries sign up to targets on cutting methane.

G20 leaders sign off on global minimum 15% corporation tax dealReform aimed at fairer taxation of digital giants who have minimised their liabilities Is 15% good? I'm sure I pay 3x that amount. Mad to think a meeting such as that depicted in the photo couldn't take place in Ireland. Why? Because the 2 people are close enough that they could almost embrace. Yet in Irish workplaces you need to keep 2m distance. It's hard not to think this is all a bit silly now. Companies coming together to fix pricing rates is illegal, its a cartel. Should countries coming together to fix tax rates not Be considered the same? Our corporation tax rate was meant to be sacrosanct and was an important tool for us.....

Climate, economy and vaccines on agenda at G20 in RomeThe heads of the world's 20 biggest economies have kicked off two days of talks where they are set to acknowledge the existential threat of climate change, but stop short of radical new commitments to tame global warming. Cool for the ones who aren’t in the G20. There GDP just went up by gazillions. What happened to free trade. G20 enslaving entrepreneurship. That’s a true measure of control. The prime minister of the highest vaccinated country will receive a grand prize from big pharma for accomplished mission. A villa in the Bahamas and tax free $200 mln. We get higher taxes and more mandatory doses.
