Greens call for fossil profit levy at COP31 Antalya

Bündnis 90/Die Grünen are calling for the German government to support a Spanish proposal for an EU-wide climate resilience levy on oil and gas company profits ahead of COP31 in Antalya. • The article frames this as a political demand ahead of the UN climate conference in Antalya, where Katharina Dröge, Lisa Badum, and Claudia Roth are said to be attending and advocating for a fossil phase-out. • It also calls for a halt to new fossil infrastructure, no new long-term fracking gas contracts, a phase-out of coal, oil and gas by 2045, and the reversal of planned cuts to international climate finance; the article cites at least €6 billion for climate finance and €1.5 billion for biodiversity protection in 2026 and 2027.
