All Eyes on INC-4 What happened on the fourth day of negotiations? #GlobalPlasticsTreaty #INC4 A thread 🧵 @brkfreeplastic @GAIAnoburn 1/4
Even I was shocked to read this: -Gross Domestic Wealth is 5X of India's GDP -Almost 90% of wealth is concentrated in hands of few people. -Just 1% tax of GDW can yield about ₹12,45,00,00,00,000 (that's ₹12.45 lakh crore, stupid) in tax resources which can be redistributed.

All Eyes on INC-4 Let’s take a look at a few updates from the second day of the negotiations taking place at INC-4 in Ottawa, Canada. A thread 🧵 #INC4 #GlobalPlasticsTreaty @brkfreeplastic @GAIAnoburn
Ahead of the First Session of UN negotiations on a #UNtaxConvention kicking off tomorrow, here's our catch-up blog by @SergioChaparro8 on what has happened so far leading up to the negotiations and what to expect over the coming days. taxjustice.net/2024/04/25/wha…
REPLUGGING: The extent of inequality and cronyism allowed to perpetuate in recent years has been disturbing. Here are some views from the series in @DeccanHerald in collaboration with @cfa_ind 1/2 deccanherald.com/opinion/why-so…
Wealth Redistribution Five Facts 1⃣ The first-ever middle class of India was created in the 1950s, 60s and 70s due to the PSU employment, built by the socialist governments of the day. Their kids are now at the forefront of abusing socialism, and any proactive policies to help…
No wonder! When Waste Audit was done for Leh, a small Himalayan town it was found that of the 10 biggest polluter, 8 are MNCs, including Pepsi and Coca Cola. Extended Producer Responsibility won't help, production needs to be controlled. theguardian.com/environment/20…
All Eyes on INC-4 India’s continued stand in the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations raises concerns. A thread 🧵 #INC4 #GlobalPlasticsTreaty @brkfreeplastic @GAIAnoburn
1/ A brief thread on inheritance taxes: Sometime in August 2014, a news item caught my attention. It said that Lakshmi Mittal, the steel tycoon, is planning to buy Blencathra, a 2850 feet-high peak, in Cumbria, UK. Curious about why the guy would buy a mountain, I dug in.
All Eyes on INC-4: What We Demand? The fourth round of global plastics treaty negotiations begins today. Why a legally binding treaty? Because voluntary measures haven't sufficed. Concrete action is needed to address the plastic crisis. @brkfreeplastic @GAIAnoburn 🧵
REPORT CARD ON EDUCATION In terms of spending on infrastructure, privatisation, huge vacancies and changes in curriculum - the assault on education is from many directions. What is at stake is our future generations. #Education fanindia.net/indian-economy…
All Eyes on INC-4 With only a few days to go before INC-4, where countries around the world will discuss several aspects of the global plastic pollution crisis, it is important to trace this problem to its roots. @brkfreeplastic @GAIAnoburn A thread 🧵 1/8
With just about a week before the fourth round of negotiations for the Global Plastics treaty, it is essential to look at the gravity of the multifaceted issues linked to the petrochemical and plastics industries via diverse pathways. @brkfreeplastic @GAIAAsiaPacific 8/9
We must also call out the Indian government for its regressive position in the negotiations and demand that the development narrative not be propagated without consideration of mitigation costs. 9/9
The new report by CFA deepens our understanding of the health implications associated with plastics by analysing their entire lifecycle (from extraction-procuction-packaging-disposal) and corroborating these with ground insights. Read the report here: cenfa.org/toxic-traits/ 🧵
A few residents said that they have witnessed an escalation in alcoholism-related domestic violence in these villages, purportedly due to socioeconomic changes that have added unanticipated stressors to their lives. 7/9
Plastic hurts. The impacts connected to the refinery extend far beyond the palpable health issues. 6/9
Ground report: The empirical part of the study zeroes in on six villages near the Panipat Petrochemical Industrial Hub to assess the exposure-linked health impacts and presents a few sobering findings. 5/9

A standard feature of authoritarianism is that polls & public statements suggest the incumbent govt is more popular than it actually is. In 1977, during the Indian Emergency from polls & public statements it appeared Indira Gandhi would sweep the elections. The opposite happened.
All Eyes on INC-4 What happened on the fourth day of negotiations? #GlobalPlasticsTreaty #INC4 A thread 🧵 @brkfreeplastic @GAIAnoburn 1/4
Even I was shocked to read this: -Gross Domestic Wealth is 5X of India's GDP -Almost 90% of wealth is concentrated in hands of few people. -Just 1% tax of GDW can yield about ₹12,45,00,00,00,000 (that's ₹12.45 lakh crore, stupid) in tax resources which can be redistributed.
@ciel_tweets analysis: At #INC4, 196 fossil fuel and chemical industry lobbyists registered – a 37% jump from INC-3. Their number far exceeded the 58 scientists from @ScientistsCoa. Industry influence grows amidst calls for action on plastic production. #PlasticsFuelInfertility

REPLUGGING: The extent of inequality and cronyism allowed to perpetuate in recent years has been disturbing. Here are some views from the series in @DeccanHerald in collaboration with @cfa_ind 1/2 deccanherald.com/opinion/why-so…

When you join BJP, the first thing that falls is your morality. The second thing, is your IQ.
All these nations like Finland, Netherlands prospered because their economy had two very imp components: -Progressive Taxation. -Strong Welfare State. For too long India has been taking the easy route of taxing the poor/middle class more than the rich. It's time to reverse it.
Denmark is another country which actively redistributed it's wealth through active labour market policies like subsidies for employers who hired the unemployed, social assistance, universal healthcare, education, social safety nets. Denmark has a progressive tax system. 3/
This is BIG: Nikhil Kamath, of Zerodha comes out in support of inheritance tax. He says, "When predicated wealth transfers from one generation to another, there has to be a filter so that a part of it can be redistributed. There is plenty of precedence to inheritance tax"
