Rejected petition: Create a Natural Wealth Dividend so Earth’s resources benefit everyone
Rejected on
Establish a Natural Wealth Dividend so those who extract or damage natural resources pay for their use, with the resulting revenue transparently returned for the benefit of everyone.
We believe humanity shares a common interest in Earth’s fundamental natural wealth. Companies should be able to use natural resources, but must pay a fair, transparent and measurable charge when extracting resources or causing environmental damage. The revenue should be independently accounted for and returned for the benefit of everyone through a Natural Wealth Dividend. The Government should investigate how this could be implemented in the UK and promoted internationally.
