Insert Report: How trade deals threaten tax justice General TTIP February 2016 update February 2016 In this briefing we update you on the latest news on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) Trade Taxes on trial - how trade deals threaten tax justice February 2016 Demands for tax justice have resounded worldwide, with inequality at historic and unsustainable levels and increased attention towards the tax practices of major multinational corporations from Google to Starbucks. We believe that governments must be able to change their tax systems to ensure multinationals pay their fair share and to ensure that critical public services are well funded. States must also be able to reconsider and withdraw tax breaks previously granted to multinationals if they no longer fit with national priorities.

General How two of our supporters (almost) inspired me to run a marathon Malise Rosbech 05 January 2016 General “If I can just make it up that hill…” I thought, gasping for air on a cold January morning. I did make it to the top but it’s safe to say, I wasn’t very fit. I had struggled to run just 3k and in a few months I was going to participate in a 10k charity run. “I’ll never make New Year’s resolutions again”, I promised myself as I walked home.

Groups-specific trade deals flyer General Silent but Deadly - Estimating the real climate impact of agribusiness corporations December 2015 The agribusiness industry presents itself as part of the solution to climate change. The major firms spend significant sums to promote the message that corporate, industrial agriculture is compatible with fighting climate change. But they are wrong. This report demonstrates that multinational agribusiness companies are part of the problem, not the solution, by revealing the true extent of their overall contribution to dangerous climate change. So far, most agribusiness companies have got away with underestimating their true impact because they only declare their direct emissions. Many emissions are not direct, but arise from the end use of their products or from their supply chains. Climate and energy Five reasons TTIP and CETA are terrible for the climate December 2015 We can halt climate change, but only by changing the economic and political structures that bind us to a high carbon model.

Climate and energy Trade Food fight - the story of rich country hypocrisy at the WTO December 2015 Nairobi will be the scene of an important battle between richer and poorer countries in December when the World Trade Organisation (WTO) meets for its ministerial. On one side, countries like the US and UK subsidise their agricultural sector to the tune of billions of pounds but don't want to allow other countries to do so. On the other side countries like India are demanding equal treatment and the freedom to buy farmers' crops in order to distribute them to those too poor to buy them at market prices.
