This level of inequality is unsustainable. Since 2020, billionaires—mostly men from the Global North—have amassed over $3 TRILLION, while 5 billion people worldwide have grown poorer. The gap between the ultra-rich and the rest of us is growing at an alarming rate. This staggering inequality is simply unsustainable. We must act NOW to reshape the system! #UNGA79 #FightInequality #MakeRichPollutersPay #TaxTheRich Lebogang Ramafoko Amitabh Behar Department of International Relations and Cooperation

Sowing Seeds of Sustainability 🌱🌿🌱  At the #ClimateJusticeIndaba, we explored the powerful potential of #Agroecology! From learning agroecological principles to witnessing firsthand the work at Philippi Horticultural Area, we saw how agroecology fosters deep connections between people, plants, animals, and the environment. Key takeaway: Agroecology is not just about what we grow — it's about how we grow. Farmers measure success by nutrition per acre and soil health, not just yield. #Oxfam #Sustainability #ClimateAction #JustTransition #AgroecologyInAction #Agroecology
