The climate crisis and its associated costs have contributed substantially to placing international tax cooperation high on the international agenda. Taxation can facilitate the energy transition by disincentivising the use of fossil fuels; create additional resources to tackle climate change; contribute to climate justice by taxing fossil-intensive activities in the most polluting countries and allocating revenues to countries most vulnerable to climate change.
In recent years, Italy has demonstrated a growing interest in the African continent, culminating with the Italy-Africa Summit in January 2024. In order to develop a mutually beneficial partnership with Africa, through the Mattei Plan and the leadership earned through the 2024 G7 presidency, Italy must listen and respond to the needs expressed by its African partners, which include a series of reform proposals of the international financial architecture.
