Source: DW- top stories
One in ten people remain in extreme poverty, over two billion face moderate or severe food insecurity, and the number affected by climate-related disasters has more than doubled since 2015. That's according to data from the United Nations published in a report today. Although the international community agreed more than a decade ago adopt goals such as ending hunger by 2030—and progress has been made regarding some goals—many other areas are...

An unregulated post-growth transition in the North can cause crises in the South: debt, inflation, unemployment. That’s the finding of a new paper by CUSP researchers Dario Leoni, Andrew Jackson and @ProfTimJackson. Their analysis from the PADME model reveal that financial transfers and global cooperation are essential to make it work internationally—ecological space isn’t enough.

Food crises could triple for 24 nations by 2026 due to warming, a seven times faster rate than wealthy nations. This means more hunger and health problems.

The ultimate neoliberal “dreamworld” – on desert sand without water
Expat influencers sold Dubai to the world and were paid to look the other way. Now the dream is crumbling* "The Dubai project requires demanding visitors and expats to not think too much about the suffering or question what goes on beyond the city’s borders. And how that city came to be built in the first place."
"The whole social contract of Dubai involves a wilful blindness to the proximity of suffering and violence. After all, Gaza is geographically close." >>

“Governments worldwide are making the wrong choice; choosing to defend wealth, not freedom. Choosing the rule of the rich. Choosing to repress their people’s anger at how life is becoming unaffordable and unbearable, rather than redistributing wealth from the richest to the rest.” #eattherich #corruption #oligarchy #taxtherich #kleptocracy #globalinequality #oxfam

Calm is not always a sign that things are working.
Often, it’s a sign that the costs have been moved: into the future, into the margins, into lives we don’t see.This essay explores borrowed calm: how modern systems maintain stability by postponing consequences, and why misreading that calm is becoming one of our most expensive mistakes.

THERE IS NO TRICKLE DOWN.
Great work from Jason Hickel et al on Global Inequality website, and lots more to explore.
#KeirStarmer bangs on about growth. We don't need growth, we need a more just and equitable society.

"We live in a world where a few people capture unimaginable wealth while billions are denied access to basic needs. Such extreme inequality is not natural or inevitable. It is an effect of the dominant economic system, capitalism, where production is controlled mostly by capital and organized around maximizing and accumulating profit, rather than securing human well-being.
Capital accumulation requires cheapening labour and resources, particularly in the global South. This produces inequalities between classes and leads to uneven development between regions. It also drives ecological breakdown, and while some benefit from the exploitation of our planet’s ecosystems, others suffer the damages."

Episode 5.8: Tech and the Global South with Star Ngei
In this episode, Christina talks with Star Ngei, a maker/hacker who helps raise awareness of Global South technology and innovation through the NGO Global Innovation Gathering (GIG), which hosts a network of makers and makerspaces throughout the Global South. Although it’s hard to generalize across a space as culturally, politically, economically, and geographically diverse as the Global South, Christina and Star discuss how the access of people in the Global South to tech is limited compared to that of people in the Global North and so they have a more creative, non-linear approach to technology. They’re far more open to modifying a piece (or pieces) of technology to fit their specific needs, rather than just using it as it comes out of the box and merely specifically for its intended use. Christina and Star also talk about climate change and what the Global North can learn from the Global South in terms of dealing with it. Lastly, they talk about building community and how, if you’re interested in working to decrease global inequality by helping people in the Global South, the best place to start is by striking up a relationship with a community there first. Unless you want your efforts to be a waste of your time, their time, and resources, don’t just give a group of people in the Global South what you think they need, find out what they think they would find useful.

Another story of the livelihoods of local people in the South sacrificed on the alter of trivial mass entertainment for Northern audiences.
In this case Garifuna fishers on the Honduran coast prohibited from fishing while the equivalent of "I'm a celebrity" is filmed.

#Billionaires #Brazil #GlobalInequality #ClimateChange: "Proposals to slap a wealth tax on the world’s super-rich could yield $250bn (£200bn) a year to tackle the climate crisis and address poverty and inequality, but would affect only a small number of billionaire families, Brazil’s climate chief has said.
Ministers from the G20 group of the world’s biggest developed and emerging economies are meeting in Rio de Janeiro this weekend, where Brazil’s proposal for a 2% wealth tax on those with assets worth more than $1bn is near the top of the agenda.
No government was speaking out against the tax, said Ana Toni, who is national secretary for climate change in the government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
“Our feeling is that, morally, nobody’s against,” she told the Observer in an interview. “But the level of support from some countries is bigger than others.”"
