- You must eat vegetarian: “The experts recommend adopting a plant-based, vegetarian, or planetary health diet that can cut 1,000–2,500 kilograms of CO₂e per person annually, depending on the country’s context. “
- You must live in dense urban high rises and must ban most private cars: “Ditching private cars in urban areas and shifting to public or active transport – as well as “reshaping urban planning” so more people live closer to work or school – can also have a sizeable impact.”
- We must ban having most personally owned assets, via taxes: “implementing globally coordinated taxes and wealth caps is necessary to meet the Paris Agreement. This includes progressive income, wealth, and inheritance taxes; comprehensive capital gains taxation; maximum income – minimum income ratios; and absolute wealth ceilings.” (“Maximum income – minimum income ratios” – everyone should be paid the same, regardless of what they do, regardless of the training or risks involved).
- From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs: “Revenues should be redirected to fund universal basic services and sufficiency-oriented infrastructure,” the report adds. “
- “Today, globally coordinated action on wealth and taxation could both fund sufficiency for all and reduce social tensions that undermine climate co-operation.”
North Korea, Venezuela and Cuba are the nation models we should emulate for a better life!
