GOAL 3: MOBILISE AT LEAST $100BN IN CLIMATE FINANCE PER YEAR As youth, we demand that climate financing be subjected to frequent review by independent, multi-stakeholder bodies and be available to the general public. The data presented should be in a widely understandable format, suitable for all ages and backgrounds. "In order to provide financial aid, the government should organize and prioritize environmental items aligned to our Paris Agreement goals. They have to question what they are doing nowadays. We are really trying to make a change!" Andrea, Peru "Even though there will be transparency, the wordings in the documents should be understandable and suited for all ages targeted. There should be no jargon that people would not understand, along with difficult graphs and numerical data which is difficult to be interpreted. Climate finance reports should be accessible to all stakeholders presented in a way they can understand (in terms of language use and data). " Haru, Japan As youth, we demand rapid and targeted decrease of subsidies and other forms of financial support to unsustainable industries (ie. oil and gas companies). Laws should be implemented to incorporate parameters which will work to further prevent multi- million dollar corporations from committing tax evasion and denying their accountability. "There should be higher tax placed on objects that require materials made from carbon emitters or that produce carbon themselves, which will not only reduce the amount of carbon use, but also allow for more funds for the reduction of said carbon." Taylor, Canada Лиза; Настя | 17 | Moscow | Russia
