📢 #FfD4: Will words turn into action?
Education, tax justice, multilateralism and a $4 trillion annual gap. As global leaders gather in Seville for the 4th UN Conference on Financing for Development, the question remains: will this time be different?
🔴 Pedro Sánchez (Spain) warned: only ⅓ of the 2030 Agenda targets are on track, while 40% of countries spend more on debt than on their populations.
⚡ Guterres was blunt: “The 2030 Agenda is in danger”. Demanded taxing the rich, reforming global financial architecture and tripling support to developing countries.
💥 Bob Rae (ECOSOC) stated: “Development without resources is hallucination”. And questioned: will the Global South have real voice in decisions?
🤯 World Bank and IMF repeated old recipes: private sector as magic solution, while Ajay Banga claimed: “Poverty is a state of mind”.
❌ Civil society isn’t fooled: conferences alone don’t change the world. Time for concrete action, not just speeches.
