Selon l’étude annuelle «World Wealth Report» de Capgemini, la fortune des plus aisés a dépassé les 90 000 milliards de dollars en 2024. Un record depuis 1997 et la première publication de ce rapport annuel.

A case in point: When Ecuador placed a windfall tax on foreign oil operations, French and U.S. companies filed claims—and were awarded more than $800 million.

Taxing world’s wealthiest people could help poorer countries shift economies to low-carbon and recover from climate damage

Russia’s war in Ukraine has earned Norway billions – and caused controversy. Thanks to oil and gas reserves in the waters off its coast, Norway is not only extremely rich but getting richer still. Already the World Bank’s seventh wealthiest country by GDP per capita at the start of this year, the resource-rich Scandinavian country’s profits have ballooned to record levels over the last 12 months, as prices on the energy markets tripled due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Norway replaced bellicose Moscow as Europe’s largest supplier of gas.

Pandering to the rich has got us into this mess. The correlation between wealth and polluting behaviour could not be clearer
