The New Global Financial Pact Summit in Paris, France in June presents a critical moment for change to happen on financial reforms. Our world is facing converging crises of climate change, hunger, and inequality, which pose unprecedented challenges that demand urgent action. It's becoming increasingly clear that the current financial system is not sustainable, and we need global reform, now more than ever.
French President Macron has the opportunity to champion these reforms at the summit and lead the charge towards a more just, equitable, and sustainable world. Upgrading the outdated international finance system is essential to free up billions of dollars needed to address these crises. Wealthy countries must increase their funding and deliver on their promises, and we need a new global solidarity tax on the biggest carbon emitters to provide urgent support for those on the frontline of the climate crisis.
The numbers are staggering, with billions of people at risk of displacement, hunger, and economic instability. But if we act now, we have the means to create a sustainable and just world for everyone. We can demand change and action from world leaders and financial institutions by adding our voices and support for reform.
Together, we can create a world that works for all of us. Join the movement to Power Our Planet and tweet urging President Macron to champion global financial systems reform at the Paris Summit in June.
