The world's wealthiest 1% of people own nearly 43% of all financial assets and emit as much carbon as two-thirds of planet's poorest, says @Oxfam report ahead of #wef24. The continued rise of economic and social #inequality is a dangerous global failure context.news/money-power-pe…
These points also struck me:
Men own $105 trillion more wealth than #women (equal to more than four times the U.S. economy). Not too surprising that #gender equality isn't progressing in a world where money = power @Oxfam #wef24
On current trends, the world will have its first trillionaire within a decade, but #poverty - living on less than $6.85 dollars a day, according to the World Bank - will not be eradicated for another 229 years @Oxfam #wef24
@Oxfam Question for the global elites meeting in Davos at #wef24 this week to discuss climate change, AI, jobs for the future & geopolitical cooperation: How will you factor tackling inequality into all of these themes to achieve a #JustTransition? Not doing so is a betrayal of @SDGoals
