How is foreign debt connected to the effects of, and actions on climate change? Often, when finances are mentioned in climate discussions, the issue is funding, or even loss and damage. But can we tie climate action together with the huge debt burden many developing and middle income countries are facing today?

We also talk to activist Esteban Servat from Debt For Climate, on how to connect the climate and debt cancellation movements.

Das Buch "Eine Erde für alle! - Einssein versus das 1%" von Vandana Shiva hat Carsten schwer beeindruckt. Den kritischen Ausführungen über Bill Gates und dem im Buch immer wieder genannten "1%" ist Carsten durch das Lesen des Oxfam-Berichts "An Economy For the 1% - How privilege and power in the economy drive extreme inequality and how this can be stopped" und dem Bericht "Gated Development - Is the Gates Foundation always a force for good?" von Global Justice Now nachgegangen. Aus beiden Berichten, sowie Vandana Shivas Buch geht sehr einprägsam hervor, welche Machtstrukturen sich in den Händen verhältnismäßig weniger Menschen befinden. Und am Beispiel der Bill und Melinda Gates Stiftung werden zwei Dinge ersichtlich: erstens wie unkritisch deren globaler Einfluss und deren Handeln hingenommen wird und zweitens wie philanthropische Handlungen zur Verfestigung wirtschaftlicher und politischer Machtstrukturen des "1%" beitragen.

Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna—three of the world's biggest Covid vaccine makers—are making an estimated $1000 every second in profits even as the world's poorest go unvaccinated, according to a press release from Oxfam, a UK-based non-profit development organisation. The estimate is based on a report by the People's Vaccine Alliance. The Alliance has 80 members including the African Alliance, Global Justice Now, Oxfam, and UNAIDS. Pfizer and BioNTech have delivered less than one percent of their total vaccine supplies to low-income countries, while Moderna has delivered just 0.2 percent. Meanwhile, 98 percent of people in low-income countries have not been fully vaccinated, according to the release. Britain is moving into phase two of its investigation of Nvidia's proposed $54 billion takeover of UK chip designer, Arm, after the first phase of the probe by the country's competition authority revealed concerns of both competition and national security, according to a government statement. This could pose a setback to Arm's majority owner, SoftBank Group. The deal, when announced in September 2020, was pegged at $40 billion in cash and stock but has since risen in value to $54 billion. UK's Competition and Markets Authority has found that the acquisition “may result in a substantial lessening of competition” across four key markets: data centres, Internet of Things, automotive, and gaming, according to the statement. The authority now has 24 weeks, plus an additional eight weeks, if needed to conclude its investigations. Arm's chips go into several devices including Apple's iPhones. The deal is also under scrutiny in Europe and China. Infosys and MIT Technology Review's custom publishing division Insights has launched The Cloud Hub—a forum offering insights and learning from successful cloud transformations to help global enterprises accelerate their cloud journey, the Indian IT services company said in a press release. The Cloud Hub aims to create a community of experts from the industry, including practitioners, providers and influencers, to debate key challenges and opportunities surrounding one of the biggest technology disruptions that the world is witnessing.

It's quite simply the biggest peacetime crisis capitalism has ever faced. The entire global system has ground to a halt. In this moment of great danger and turmoil, hosts Zoe Williams and Luke Cooper are joined by economist Ann Pettifor, author of The Case for the Green New Deal, and Nick Dearden, regular on the show and director of Global Justice Now. They outline how behind the scenes central banks are undertaking a huge bailout of the financial system to keep it afloat. Will this repeat the mistakes of the 2008 crisis - of socialising the losses but privatising the profits? Or can we radically reform our economy for the challenges of this century? Find out on today's podcast.  Editor: Ben Higgins Milner  Producer: Luke Cooper 

Hosts Zoe Williams and Luke Cooper are joined by NHS doctor Sonia Adesara and Nick Dearden, director of Global Justice Now, to discuss the enormous challenges facing Britain's underfunded healthcare system.

From cuts to the NHS to the denial of healthcare in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, the struggle for decent, accessible public services is global. From public partnerships to global social protection funds there are many ideas for how to realise rights including health, education social protection.

Emma Hughes, Nick Dearden, Asad Rehman & Sarah-Jayne Clifton The economic dogma of the last 30 years has turned society into a gigantic marketplace, where rights, standards and protections are seen as obstacles to profit. The collapse of this dogma is nothing to lament, but takes with it any sense of progressive internationalism, throwing many back on the outdated certainties of the national economy. A Labour government could set the tone for a global fightback against neoliberalism but in favour of internationalism. What could this look like? Come and find out.
