The real impact of #SriLanka’s debt crisis is felt in the lives of women. One of the #IMF's deepest austerity programmes has gutted the country’s social safety net, leaving women like Edna unable to pay for medical bills following a workplace accident. 📽️ www.eurodad.org/debt_story_g...

UK PM Andy Burnham has announced a £2 cap on bus fares 🚌 a welcome step for people forced into debt to pay for essentials by the cost of living crisis But there's a catch: it's partly funded by switching international climate finance from grants to loans 🧵

As Argentina 🇦🇷, Colombia 🇨🇴 & Egypt 🇪🇬 step on to the pitch today, unjust #debt is stealing from their future. All three countries are up against a system that has been rigged from the start. Join us to blow the whistle on unjust debt. #TackleUnfairDebt ⚽#CancelTheDebt #ARGEGY #SUICOL

After abandoning its climate finance target, what is the future role for the #WorldBank within global #climate action? Together with CAN Intl, we explore why MDBs as a whole must rethink their approach to the #JustTransition. ➡️ www.eurodad.org/world_bank_c... 🧵 1/2

"This is a race to the bottom where everyday citizens & small companies lose.” Today @ec.europa.eu took a major step back on #TaxJustice. The new measures announced in the #TaxOmnibus package strip away anti-tax abuse mechanisms & slash taxes at source. Read more: www.eurodad.org/a_race_to_th...

💰Oil and gas companies are cashing in. Meanwhile, people struggle to pay their energy bills. 💡The solution? A permanent additional tax on the colossal profits of these companies. ✅Let’s #TaxFossilFuelProfits✍️ Sign the petition now: act.350.org/sign/tell-eu...

Today's @consilium.europa.eu conclusions have poised the #GlobalGateway as the definitive blueprint for EU development. While we welcome the emphasis on transparency, country ownership & CSO engagement, the reliance on private investment & mutual benefit remains deeply alarming. bit.ly/4xtDjrN

As the World Cup kicks off, many countries on the pitch face the worst debt crisis in 35 years. Trapped by rules written to favour lenders. 🚨Debt justice laws to cancel unjust debt 🌐A new debt framework at the #UN to fix the system for good Let's bring the rules back onside! #TackleUnfairDebt

More & more we're hearing that #aid only makes sense if it also benefits rich countries. This is a hugely problematic rebranding exercise that dresses the Global North's self-interest up in the language of partnership and serves to further entrench existing power imbalances. #C7France

A new report by the @oecd-ocde.bsky.social shows that loans continue to dominate public #ClimateFinance provided by rich countries - meaning more #debt for countries already facing fiscal distress 👎 Read our blog: www.eurodad.org/oecd_climate... #ClimateJustice #DebtJustice #EconomicJustice

Next month, the World Bank's #ClimateChange Action Plan ends - without a clear plan on how the Bank will continue to advance it's climate commitments. In an open letter, 90+ orgs argue that future of the CCAP is a referendum on the credibility of the Bank. www.eurodad.org/cso_letter_w...

The Philippines is on the frontline of the #debt & #climate crises. The 2️⃣nd of our #RealCostOfDebt series follows the women of Oriang, who are mobilising against policies that prioritise debt repayment over protecting Filipinos from climate change. www.eurodad.org/debt_story_c... #EraOfJustice

The debt & climate crises are shaping our futures, yet #DebtJustice is often missing from mainstream climate conversations. Join us on 4 June to learn more about the links between sovereign debt, climate finance, austerity, and #ClimateJustice. Register: www.eurodad.org/webinar_why_...

The future of #aid is again the subject of debate, & many govs across Europe are arguing for ‘mutual benefit’, which reimagines aid to suit their self-interest over reducing #poverty & increasing global solidarity. It doesn't have to be like this 👉 bit.ly/4ujxtYk 🧵/1

While the #IMF pushes #Argentina to exploit oil & gas in #VacaMuerta to pay off its #debt, indigenous communities in Patagonia face environmental and social crises. For Aylén, this tunnel vision from Buenos Aires is part of the #RealCostOfDebt. Hear more 👉www.eurodad.org/debt_story_d...

❓What does the future of #aid look like? A reset is urgently needed, but while @oecd-ocde.bsky.social continues to work within a competitive framework, collapse is inevitable. We don’t have an absence of resources, we have a lack of true partnership. 🧵

🔍 Our main takeaways from #SantaMarta❓ A few weeks ago, we asked our colleagues Bertha Argueta & Markus Trilling what conversations needed to happen at the Conference. Today, they reflect on what went well & what is still missing to achieve a #JustTransition ⤵️

The @oecd-ocde.bsky.social claim their conference next week will chart the future of development cooperation. ⛔ But this future cannot be written in a forum which has rewritten the rules to the benefit of rich countries & only select countries have a voice. 🌍 The future must be at the #UN..

#Argentina’s long & turbulent history with @IMFNews is a clear example of how #debt burden can undermine sovereignty. For Aylén, the #RealCostOfDebt is the heavy repression she & her community face fighting for their right to live on their ancestral lands 👇

🌍Around the world, billions of people’s lives are impacted by the global #debt crisis. We’ve been working w/ activists across the #GlobalSouth to share the #RealCostofDebt. ⏰The first story launches 5 May. Watch the trailer today! #CancelTheDebt #EraOfJustice

For many countries in #DebtCrisis, #IMF conditions push for #austerity & spending cuts. For the #workers living in these countries, this means that their rights & protections are put on the line. The global #DebtCrisis threatens #WorkersRights. This is the #RealCostofDebt.

Today, on #LabourDay millions of workers are seeing their rights and protections curtailed or threatened by the global #DebtCrisis, as creditors and the #IMF dictate government policy which prioritises debt repayment over protecting #workersrights. This is the #RealCostOfDebt.

#Aid is facing historic cuts, declining quality & a growing shift from “donors to investors" 👎 📌 Join us on 7 May to explore what these changes mean in practice and share ideas for a new vision for the future. Register now: www.eurodad.org/aid_event_2026 #AidCuts #DevelopmentFinance
