We risk going backwards on #taxation of #minerals at #FfD4. Whereas the Addis Agenda identified #mining #taxation as a huge opportunity for #DRM, the Zero Draft is silent on this. Mining taxation must be part of the #FfD4 agenda.

#Tax stabilisation is contentious. But global norms and standards on #stabilisation are changing. Key shifts:. - exempting non-fiscal issues .- only granting fiscal stabilisation based on commercial need.- limiting scope and time .- exempting anti-avoidance rules .- alternatives.
📣 Stabilization clauses should no longer automatically be included in investor-state contracts📝. If they are, they should, at a minimum, build on the latest international standards to avoid being a barrier to #sustainabledevelopment🌎. 👉 IISD blog:

We’re proud to partner with @UNDP to help secure an ambitious outcome for the Fourth Financing for Development Conference. Top priorities for us at #FfD4 are: 1) a coherent, integrated approach to financing #SDGs, #climate, and #nature, and 2) a grander bargain on #debt relief.
Last month, @IISD_news was at the 2nd Symposium on Finance, Integrity and Governance. As @UNDP’s knowledge partner, we shape research to inform the #FfD4 process, towards solutions for effective financing strategies that respond to the challenges faced by developing countries🌍
