"Innovative Financing for the Post-2015 Agenda: The Implications of a Financial Transaction Tax"
In an era of economic uncertainty and austerity, resources devoted to development cooperation are increasingly scarce, and innovative financing mechanisms are taking a particularly important role in addressing global challenges and promoting human and sustainable development.
The importance of identifying innovative sources of financing for development is not new. It was recognized in the Monterrey Consensus of 2002 and reaffirmed by the Doha Declaration on Financing for Development in 2008. The
outcome document of the Rio +20 Conference, 'The Future We Want', also stressed the value of innovative financing for sustainable development (IFfD).
Today, with the on-going debate on the future of development policies and the Post-2015 agenda, IFfD takes on an even more urgent role, especially in light of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG's) and the resulting experience gained. IFfD aims to mobilize additional resources, substantive and predictable, which should complement, not replace, traditional funding sources such as an Official Development Assistance (ODA) program, and includes the proposal of a Financial Transaction Tax designed to boost both revenues and sustainability.
