“This is not about a few bad apples, but rather a system that allows Europe’s financiers off the hook as the rules are too weak,” said Kees Kodde, Oxfam and Fair Finance International Project Lead.

“The EU’s self-imposed deregulatory push appears unstoppable, at least for now,” said Alemanno. He forecasts “a wave of litigation . . . which will paradoxically condemn Europe to the unpredictability that the EU simplification agenda meant to avoid”.

💥 Just 4 of Africa’s richest (all men) own more wealth than half of the continent — that’s 750 million people!

Inequality isn’t just rising – it’s exploding.

With South Africa leading the G20, this is the moment to demand tax justice.

BREAKING: A person in the richest 0.1% produces more carbon pollution in a day than someone in the bottom 50% produces all year. ​

Same pollution. Different worlds. But only one pays the price. ​

PRESS RELEASE: Two thirds of climate finance is loans, as rich countries profiteer from climate crisis💰

New research finds poor & climate vulnerable countries are paying back 7 USD for every 5 they receive.

Report by @oxfaminternational.bsky.social @careglobal.bsky.social 👉 oxf.am/climate-fina...
Rich countries are treating the climate crisis as a business opportunity, not a moral obligation. They are lending money to the very people they have historically harmed, trapping vulnerable nations in a cycle of debt. This is a form of crisis profiteering.
