For a more equal future, we must fight inequality together

Did you know that since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, billionaires have made unimaginable, record-breaking fortunes? Every year, the gap between rich and poor gets even wider – standing in the way of ending global poverty. It is time to bring an end to inequality and overcome poverty for good.

East Africa: extreme inequality in numbers

The Covid-19 pandemic, compounded by locust infestations and climate crises, has brought East Africa’s worst economic crisis in decades. Yet, instead of taxing the wealthy, governments are planning to slash their public spending, which will worsen the crisis and deepen poverty and inequality in the region. But it is not too late to change direction.

Oxfam reaction to IPCC’s Synthesis Report (SYR)

Responding to the publication today of the IPCC’s Synthesis Report (SYR), Oxfam’s Climate Policy Lead Nafkote Dabi said: “This is, literally, the last chapter. The science shows that limiting global heating to 1.5°C is still possible —but only just. Unless we pull the emergency brake on deadly carbon pollution, ‘unheard-of’ heatwaves, storms, droughts and floods will continue to become more frequent and hit more places and people."

Land used for European biofuels could feed 120 million people daily

Europe currently wastes land the size of Ireland on crops for biofuels which is an obstacle to tackling the climate crisis and food security, a new study shows. The study commissioned by T&E shows that this land could be used to feed 120 million people or, if given back to nature, could absorb twice as much CO2 as is supposedly saved by powering cars with biofuels. Using an area equivalent to just 2.5% of this land for solar panels would produce the same amount of energy.
