NGO

Environmental groups and concerned NGOs have long advocated for taxes on aviation to offset its environmental damage. Many NGOs call for reform of the global economic system, including debt relief, international aid, and global taxes that can fund development while at the same time curbing carbon emissions or stabilizing the global financial system. They call for a fair international trade system, international regulation of corporate activity to ensure basic labor and human rights and environmental standards, and a stronger role for the UN in global social and economic policy.
