The World Inequality Report 2026 says reducing global inequalities requires taxing wealth, investing in human capital, reforming finance, redesigning climate policy, tackling structural gender gaps, and democratizing political institutions. wir2026.wid.world

Investing in a healthy planet isn’t just good for nature—it’s a massive economic opportunity. New #GEO7 report shows that transforming energy, food, waste & finance systems can unlock US$20 trillion a year by 2070, save millions of lives, & lift millions out of poverty. ow.ly/AFjE50XG8bI #UNEA7

Stop insisting on work requirements. Just provide cash and healthcare unconditionally. People will still work. Stop insisting on targeting the poor. Just provide cash and healthcare universally, and tax the rich more. That way we won't exclude anyone in need. On these core tenets, UBI + M4A rests.

Any city, where state law permits it, could choose to tax land value and distribute a UBI dividend. It would be a wealth tax that increases the supply of housing and directly reduces, poverty, inequality, and insecurity. Which city will be first?

Swiss voters overwhelmingly rejected the Young Greens' environmental responsibility initiative, which aimed to align Switzerland’s economy with ‘planetary boundaries.’ Nearly 70% voted no, with no canton in favor, and turnout was below average at 38%. www.swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss-po... Feb 9, 2025

What well-being within Planetary Boundaries looks like: #1 Shift the primary objective from economic growth to human wellbeing and ecological sustainability. High-income nations must ditch endless growth and embrace post-growth focused on sufficiency, equity, and well-being.

Global CO2 emissions rose just 0.8% in 2024, while the economy grew 3.2%, showing a break between growth and fossil fuels. Clean energy and EVs are driving this shift. Renewables and nuclear comprised 40% of global electricity; oil use fell below 30% for the first time.

The article presents the current status and the goals of various countries, which they should aim for regarding environmental indicators. However, to realize these goals, each country must translate them into concrete policies and implement them accodingly.

Dr. Zeke Hausfather @hausfath.bsky.social warns that in a world of rising nationalism and weak global cooperation (SSP3), climate progress could stall. Despite clean energy gains, such a future risks more societal harm and slower tech growth. Global unity remains key to avoiding this path.

A BCG and Cambridge report warns that climate inaction could slash global GDP by up to 34% by 2100 if temperatures rise 3°C. Investing just 1-2% of GDP now in emissions reduces and climate adaptation could decrease losses by 90%, limiting damages to 2-4% of GDP. www.forbes.com/sites/davidr...

Heat and water destroy capital.  The only solution is to speedy and massively reduce fossil fuel use or capture emissions.  Inactions cost more than the one of transformation and adapting.  If we succeed in the transition, we’ll have a stronger economy and a better quality of life. 3 Apr 2025

This is a world where clean energy is curtailed not by a lack of human ingenuity but by misguided policy that subsidizes domestic fossil energy resources while closing us off from the rest of the world. This is a SSP3-style world: www.theclimatebrink....

Democracy means rule by the people, usually through free and fair elections, and often includes rights and protections for individuals. As of 2024, 33.0% of countries are electoral democracies, while 16.2% are liberal democracies.
