France, Kenya, Barbados, and Spain were among the countries that on Monday launched a coalition advocating for taxes on affluent air passengers, with the aim of supporting poorer nations in their response to climate change, according to the French presidency.
The coalition, which also brings together Somalia, Benin, Sierra Leone and Antigua and Barbuda, said it would work to increase the number of countries taxing plane tickets, including business-class travel, and private jets.
