Barbados has emerged as a climate justice trailblazer, proposing bold tax solutions to make the world’s biggest polluters fund the fight against climate breakdown. And they’re not alone. Leaders from Kenya to Senegal are stepping up with the ideas the world needs most.

But leadership like this doesn’t always get the spotlight it deserves. That’s where you come in. Share why you believe more voices especially from countries on the frontlines — are essential to driving real change.

We’ll use these messages to encourage more countries to join the Global Solidarity Levies Taskforce alongside Barbados and Kenya to hold big polluters to account. Help shift the narrative and make sure leadership from the margins is seen, heard, and respected on the global stage.
