- Russian oligarchs escape sanctions and companies cut down the rainforest aided by tax havens. Illicit financial flows are inextricably linked to the world’s largest crises and can prevent us from effectively solving these problems.
Tax havens offer secrecy and the opportunity to minimise tax for companies and rich individuals. This at the cost of our safety, nature and the climate, and our ability to finance health, education and welfare.
The consequences are felt by all the world's countries, but particularly affect poor countries.
