How a fair tax system could help us Build Back Better
Sunday 14 June is Tax Justice Sunday: a day when Christians are encouraged to come together to reflect on the role of tax in society, and to speak out for a fairer tax system. This year it comes as many in the churches and in wider society are calling for tax reform to be part of how we build back better from the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to Urban Dictionary, the word 'badass' is: "1. A general term used to describe behaviour that is fearless, authentic, compassionate, and ethical. 2. Well above the social standard for 'normal' behaviour." It's also a gender neutral term, which I rate.

Transitioning away from fossil fuels: creating space for those willing to move first
Last week, 57 countries and more than 2,000 organisations met in Santa Marta, Colombia, to discuss how to reduce dependency on fossil fuels. This First International Conference to Transition Away from Fossil Fuels was more than a diplomatic gathering: it signalled emerging political space for actors willing to move this agenda forward. It was a space of cautious hope.

Santa Marta and the great transition away from fossil fuels
The Santa Marta conference opens in Colombia on Friday 24 April. I was glad when it was announced at the end of the COP30 climate talks in Brazil, last November, as a way for countries that are serious about getting off fossil fuels quickly and fairly to plan how to do it together – without getting bogged down at COP with the likes of Russia and Saudi Arabia. It'll report back to COP but offers a faster path.

Straight, not narrow: John Lampen addresses some misconceptions over the Peace Testimony
Some recent writing in the Friend has implied that our Peace Testimony contains a duty not to take sides when faced with the world's conflicts. This is a misunderstanding that could mislead Friends, and give a wrong impression about our peace witness.

Will COP27 deliver a loss and damage fund?
The next chapter in the struggle for loss and damage finance is about to take place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. Thanks to the ongoing efforts of campaigners and Global South countries, the issue is on the provisional agenda for COP27. This still has to be agreed by parties at the beginning of the summit, but there appears to be little appetite for a long argument over the agenda.
