Why do some climate policies struggle to win public support? Anmol Somanchi argues that climate policy has too often taken a "classless ecology" approach—trying to tackle environmental problems without addressing power, wealth and income inequality. Full episode: www.equals.ink/p/the-global...

What makes a demand powerful? Bushra Khalidi argues that radical demands only become effective when they're backed by organised people, evidence and a strategy to shift power. "The task is not only to enter the room. It is to build power outside it." Read more: www.equals.ink/p/radical-de...

Who is causing environmental damage? Who benefits from it? Who suffers the impacts of global warming? And who gets to shape the transition? @cmohren.bsky.social argues that "it shouldn't be in the hands of the ultra-rich." 🎧 Tune in: www.equals.ink/p/the-global...

Extreme inequality is often described as a problem. But as Moritz Odersky reminds us, "showing only how bad the situation is not enough." The Global Justice Report asks a different question: What would it actually take to build a world where prosperity is shared more fairly? 👇

"We're constantly being fed a sort of techno-dystopian nationalist narrative about what's going to happen in the future." But what if we imagined a future that's "more equal, that is more just"? Anmol Somanchi explains why that conversation can't wait. 🎧 Listen: www.equals.ink/p/the-global...

We often talk about the climate crisis and the inequality crisis as if they're separate. The authors of the Global Justice Report argue that's a mistake. Climate change isn't just about emissions—it's also about power, wealth and who bears the costs. 🧵 👇
