International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva is driving a global carbon tax policy. This tax needs to go up, up and up to accelerate decarbonisation, she said on the sidelines of COP28.
“These people sitting on their high and lofty perches at these globalist summits have somehow gotten the mistaken idea that they can lord their perverse ideology over us and make us conform to a lifestyle fit for the Middle Ages, while they dine on filet mignon and caviar and move about in their expensive SUVs and private jets,” writes Leo Hohmann.
Yesterday was the final day of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (“COP28”) held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, which began on 30 November.
On the sidelines of COP28, on 1 December, the World Bank held a “Fireside Chat” with World Bank Group President Ajay Banga and IMF’s Georgieva who gave their respective institutional goals going into COP28. You can watch the 25-minute “chat” on YouTube HERE.
Georgieva said: “We are a huge proponent of carbon price. We believe that carbon price has the potential of raising revenues in a way that is [ ] equitable because the more you consume, the more you pollute, the more you pay. It is also an incentive to accelerate decarbonisation.”
For “carbon price” read “carbon tax.” The play on words is a deliberate psychological trick so populations are more likely to accept paying it. If you don’t believe it’s a deliberate manipulation tactic then listen to what Catherine McKenna, Canada’s Minister for the Environment who was tasked with deploying carbon taxation nationally, had to say on Bloomberg’s Zero podcast a few months ago HERE.
Less than a week later, on 6 December, Georgieva joined the President of the Council on Foreign Relations (“CFR”) at its ‘Stephen C. Freidheim Symposium on Global Economics’. She repeatedly emphasised the transition to “green” economies and made out that transitioning to “green and digital” economies was a priority for African nations. Which it is not.
Georgieva told the CFR President that IMF’s major contribution to “climate change” wasn’t finance but to come up with policies to “help” countries drive the reduction and elimination of “fossil fuel” subsidies and accelerate decarbonisation by adopting carbon taxes so green technologies are more competitive.
During COP28 Georgieva certainly took her task of driving carbon taxes seriously. A tax which needs to go up, up and up to accelerate decarbonisation, she said.

Kristalina Georgieva, a Bulgarian economist who serves as the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, said on 1 December that the IMF wants to see countries implement punishing new carbon taxes to “fight climate change.”
She delivered her dire message at the United Nations COP28 climate summit, where globalists in attendance flew in on jets and you can bet they are being chauffeured around in luxury automobiles and dining on the finest cuts of beef and other delicacies.
“We are very keen to give the biggest possible incentive for decarbonisation, which is putting a price on carbon,” Georgieva said at the summit in the United Arab Emirates. “That price needs to go up, up, up if we are to speed up decarbonisation.”
The IMF boss also tried to justify carbon taxes by saying they would raise revenues for governments.
“We are a huge proponent of carbon price,” she said, in a bold statement that seems to indicate only the rich will be allowed to maintain their current lifestyles if the globalists get their way on climate change policies.
