Investing in care means investing in people and the planet.

A person in the richest 0.1% produces more carbon pollution in a day than someone in the bottom 50% produces all year.
Same pollution. Different worlds. But only one pays the price.

Women fill the care gaps left by Govts daily, at the cost of their own time, education & income. For them, #HardWorkPaysNothing
Care binds our societies, yet it’s treated as a private responsibility. Care is a public good & human right.

Four African billionaires own more wealth than half the continent — 750 million people.
Inequality isn’t natural. It’s a political choice.

For women, #HardWorkPaysNothing
Women do most of the world’s care work - yet it remains undervalued, unpaid, or underpaid.
We call on governments to make care a public good & invest in universal, funded care systems.

The G20 Expert Committee doesn’t just diagnose the inequality emergency—it offers a solution:
Create a permanent International Panel on Inequality.
Now countries must step up and make this happen.
And yes: it must include taxing the super-rich.
President Ramaphosa, #BeOurChampion.
A 1% wealth tax + 10% income tax on Africa’s richest 1% could raise $66 billion a year – enough to fund free quality education and universal access to electricity. Let’s do it. Ramaphosa, #BeOurChampion to #TaxTheSuperRich

From the new G20 report: 90% of humanity lives in countries with high inequality.
These nations are 7x more likely to face democratic decline.
Inequality is a global emergency.

The corporations that are suing countries for passing green laws. Who really invented the term ‘carbon footprint’?
These are issues it is tough to get mainstream news coverage for. Let’s imagine a different world.

3) 📊 From the report:
Over the last 25 years, the richest 1% captured 41% of all new wealth.
The bottom 50%? Just 1%.
That’s 2,222 times more for the richest.
This is why we need to #TaxTheSuperRich. #G20SouthAfrica
2) The report warns: if inequality spirals, the rich will write the rules to keep their wealth.
Escaping that trap? Almost impossible.
We need bold action NOW.
It starts with #TaxTheSuperRich.
President Ramaphosa, #BeOurChampion.

Governments cannot close the emissions gap without slashing the carbon footprint of the super-rich and addressing extreme inequality. COP30 must be a turning point. Global leaders must cut the emissions of the richest, tax rich polluters and their profits, and deliver a just transition
REACTION: Latest UNEP Emissions Gap report shows that the super-rich are putting world on track for climate catastrophe❗️
