Last week, we hosted a book launch event 'Eco-Social Contracts for Just and Sustainable Futures' with @gsos-lse.bsky.social at LSE. The panel called for an eco-social contract that fundamentally redefines the relationship between people, planet & power. 🎧Listen to the recording: buff.ly/y8RJQgA

“This is the dismantling of the humanitarian infrastructure [in Gaza]. It sidelines principled humanitarian actors and replaces them with entities that lack clear humanitarian mandates – including privatised military contractors.” - Oxfam's Bushra Khalidi www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

At @australiainstitute.org.au webinar @josephestiglitz.bsky.social argued for very high tax rates on corporate natural resource super-profits. As long as there are excess returns, companies will continue to invest. Tax those super-profits heavily the resources belong to the Australian people. Here⤵️

Today, Administrator Zeldin took a chainsaw to the Endangerment Finding, undoing this long-standing, science-based finding on bogus grounds at the expense of our health.

“We are witnessing the impact of aid cuts every single day.” Magnus Corfixen, humanitarian lead for @oxfamgb.bsky.social says in this @the-independent.com piece. The piece looks at findings published in The Lancet on the impact of aid cuts globally. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

President Trump, along with the support of the world’s richest man Elon Musk executed a full-blown assault on U.S humanitarian assistance, one year ago. Today, Oxfam is bearing witness to the devastation these cuts have caused. 1/2

Between four noted tax havens (Bermuda, Switzerland, Ireland, and Singapore) PepsiCo is reporting it reduced its income taxes for 2025 by $661m, utterly dwarfing the effect of U.S. anti-abuse rules like GILTI. Current U.S. tax rules are clearly not dissuading companies from the use of tax havens.

“The UK should be expanding its support for communities on the front lines of the climate crisis - not shrinking it." Following reports of planned cuts to the UK's climate finance budget, Oxfam GB joins calls for the UK government to increase climate finance and pay its fair share. 👉 bit.ly/4rvEN0X

"If Keir Starmer takes one thing from both Caerphilly and Gorton, it needs to be about the voting system. The archaic dog mess that is first-past-the-post needs to be ditched. It allows outright majorities based on a minority of voters." ✍️ @willhaycardiff.bsky.social

Taxing excess profits, both in the fossil fuel industry and the overall corporate sector, can restructure the economy towards renewables, reduce inequality and raise over $1 trillion in the first year. Oxfam’s new briefing paper shows how: policy-practice.oxfam.org/resources/ho... (1/14)

As the US assumes the G20 presidency and attempts to unilaterally exclude South Africa, @oxfamamerica.bsky.social is calling on all other #G20 countries to refuse to participate until SA is invited. Our reaction here www.oxfamamerica.org/press/g20-co...

At #COP30 the EU poses as champion of a #fossilfuel fuel phase-out. But it doesn’t need others to move first: it funds it, burns it, banks the profits, then points the finger South. That’s not climate ambition – it’s demagoguery. 👇Thread👇

Investments in harm reduction programs, like naloxone distribution, syringe services, opioid use disorder medications, and housing-first programs, have driven down overdose deaths in the U.S. in recent years. Yet, we risk losing this progress because of politics.
