Not in this together: how supermarkets became the pandemic’s winners while women workers are losing out

One-off emergency tax on billionaires’ pandemic windfalls could fund COVID-19 jabs for entire world

The organizations are calling on governments to tax the ultra wealthy who profited from the pandemic crisis to help offset its costs.

Oxfam reaction to IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (WGI AR6)

Responding to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Working Group I contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), Oxfam Climate Policy Lead Nafkote Dabi said: “Amid a world in parts burning, in parts drowning and in parts starving, the IPCC today tables the most compelling wake-up call yet for global industry to switch from oil, gas and coal to renewables. Governments must use law to compel this urgent change. Citizens must use their own political power and behaviors to push big polluting corporations and governments in the right direction. There is no Plan B."
