Almost half of humanity lives in countries that spend more on debt interest payments than on education or health.
This crushing debt crisis is one result of the inequality built into our outdated global financial system.
Deep reforms to the global financial system will not happen overnight. But there are many steps we can take right now, as I outlined today during the launch of our report, A World of Debt.
Action will not be easy - but it is essential, and urgent.

The global energy system is broken and bringing us ever closer to climate catastrophe.

The combined profits of the largest energy companies in the first quarter of this year are close to $100 billion.

This grotesque greed of the fossil fuel industry and their financiers is punishing the poorest and most vulnerable people, while destroying our only home.

We must change course – and the only credible direction to take is away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy.

Developed economies must tax the windfall profits of fossil fuel companies.

We know the inevitable result of war: civilian casualties; women, children and men forced from their homes: hunger, poverty and huge economic disruption.

Freedom of information is under attack with reports of journalists and activists arrested.

We have consistently called for the end of the offensive in Ukraine and return to the path of dialogue and diplomacy.

Meanwhile, our Human Rights Monitoring Mission in the country is continuing its work, and our humanitarian agencies are stepping up their operations.

We must show all the people of Ukraine that we stand by them in their time of need.

As we mark 20 years of the heinous attacks of 9/11, my thoughts are with the victims, survivors & families.

The solidarity & resolve shown by the international community in those dark days should continue to inspire & guide our efforts to create a future without terrorism.

Racism is a deeply rooted evil. It transcends generations and perpetuates inequality and oppression. All of us have a duty to eradicate it.

Wherever we see racism, we must condemn it without reservation, without hesitation, without qualification.

To , we have to be proactively anti-racist.

My appeal to all of you is this:

Let us teach the world that all people are born equal.
Supremacy is an evil lie.
Racism kills.

Let us work together to rid the world of the pernicious evil of racism so all may live in a world of peace, dignity and opportunity.
