REACTION: The #FFD4 showed the challenges remaining to meet the Sustainable Development Goals - but also the power of international cooperation. 👉 oxf.am/ffd-reaction
Seville showed that considerable challenges remain to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals. But it also paved the way for governments to build more coalitions to tax the super-rich and finance care, and put equality, democracy and sustainability at the core of their efforts.

In a tense geopolitical environment, Spain, Brazil and South Africa have taken an important step in forging an alliance here at the UN conference in Sevilla to show political will for taxation of the super-rich. Now other countries must follow their lead and join forces.

PRESS RELEASE: 8 out of 10 people support taxing oil and gas corporations to pay for climate damages, global survey by @greenpeace.org and @oxfaminternational.bsky.social finds. Study launched today as governments meet for #JuneClimateMeetings #SB62. 👉https://oxf.am/polluters-profit-tax
Quote by Amitabh Behar, Oxfam International Executive Director: Corporations continue to cash in on climate devastation, and their profiteering destroys the lives and livelihoods of millions of women, men and children, predominantly those in the Global South who have done the least to cause the climate crisis. Governments must listen to their people and hold rich polluters responsible for their damages.

REACTION: Financing for Development Conference outcome document a missed opportunity in fight against global poverty and inequality. Oxfam is going to #FFD4 in Sevilla to urge governments to take more ambitious commitments to end the debt crisis. 👉 oxf.am/ffd-outcome
Quote by Amitabh Behar, Executive Director of Oxfam International: Rich countries missed a chance to make a real difference in the fight against global poverty and inequality. They could have helped to end the debt crisis that is impacting over three billion people in the Global South, mainly women and girls. This was a key demand of developing countries, many of whom are spending more repaying debt than they can on public education and healthcare.
