Episode Summary In this powerful and deeply thoughtful episode, political economist and changemaker Katherine Trebeck joins Carolyn to explore what it means to build an economy that works for people and planet. Katherine shares her journey from working with Oxfam and Rio Tinto to co-founding the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll), and how her work is reshaping the way we define economic success. Together, they unpack the shortcomings of our current growth-at-all-costs model and what's possible when we embrace a wellbeing economy — one designed with purpose, prevention, equity, and people-powered participation at its core. Katherine also reflects on the rise of Trumpism, the role of business in systemic change, and where she finds hope in uncertain times.

À Goma, le directeur de l'ONG internationale OXFAM pour le Congo lance un cri d'alarme : « Si Donald Trump ne rouvre pas l'USAID pour le Congo-Kinshasa, quatre millions de personnes vont être en situation de détresse et de nombreux enfants vont mourir de maladie et de malnutrition ». Autre fléau à venir, une épidémie de choléra. Cinq cents cas sont déjà signalés dans la capitale du Nord-Kivu. Le docteur Manenji Mangundu est le directeur d'OXFAM pour la RDC. Actuellement en mission dans l'Est du pays, en ligne de Goma, il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Manenji Mangundu, vous êtes à Goma. Deux mois après la décision de Donald Trump, est-ce que vous en sentez déjà les premiers effets sur le terrain ?Manenji Mangundu : oui, on est à Goma. Après la fin du financement de l'USAID, on réalise véritablement comment la population est dans le besoin. La situation est très précaire, parce que la population n'a pas accès à l'eau. C'est difficile d'accéder aux soins et aux médicaments. Les hôpitaux étaient financés par le Bureau Humanitaire d'Assistance, GHA, qui fait partie de l'USAID. Les populations souffrent de la pénurie de nourriture, ce qui inquiète énormément. La progression du taux de malnutrition inquiète beaucoup les femmes par rapport à leurs enfants qui sont très mal nourris. L'autre chose, c'est le choléra. L'absence d'eau potable provoque des cas de choléra qui sont en nette augmentation. Par exemple, on a presque 500 cas de choléra à Goma. Cela nous inquiète beaucoup.Quelle était jusqu'à présent la contribution de l'USAID pour nourrir toutes ces populations ?Leur contribution, c'était 70% du financement total pour l'œuvre humanitaire. C'est-à- dire, 900 millions de dollars américains étaient financés par l'USAID.900 millions de dollars américains par an ?Oui, par an.Et si le gel de l'USAID devient définitif, est-ce qu'il y a des personnes au Nord-Kivu, au Sud-Kivu qui vont être en danger de mort ? Oui. On constate déjà des cas de morts. Il y a beaucoup d'enfants qui sont mal nourris, mais ils n'accèdent pas aux médicaments. Ils n'accèdent pas à la nourriture, ils n'accèdent pas à l'eau potable, ils sont en train de mourir. Mais maintenant, tu vois, avec les difficultés d'accéder à certains villages, il est même difficile d'avoir les statistiques. Mais beaucoup d'enfants sont en train de mourir.À lire aussiEst de la RDC: «Plus de 900 corps ont été enterrés par la Croix-Rouge et le CICR»Et ces enfants qui meurent, c'est dans la ville de Goma ou bien dans la montagne autour de Goma ?Certains, c'est dans la ville de Goma et d'autres autour de Goma. Il y a beaucoup d'endroits comme dans la zone de Masisi, la zone de Mweso et la zone de Minova vers Akalé au Sud-Kivu. Il y a aussi la zone de Rutshuru.Quelle est la situation, docteur, dans les hôpitaux de Goma ?Il y a beaucoup de malades qui sont là ! Il y a beaucoup de gens qui sont en train de chercher les médicaments.Jusqu'à présent, de nombreux malades du SIDA recevaient des antirétroviraux grâce à la Fondation Bill Clinton, qui était financée par l'USAID. Est-ce que beaucoup de gens risquent aujourd'hui de mourir du SIDA faute de traitements ?Oui, je pense que les gens courent ce risque. Parce que si le financement venait à être suspendu pour les médicaments du sida, s'ils ne peuvent pas y accéder, ils vont mourir.Est-ce que vous pouvez évaluer le nombre de personnes qui risquent de mourir de faim et de maladie si l'USAID reste suspendue ?Avec les financements humanitaires, ce sont 6,5 millions de personnes qui étaient assistées.Six millions et demi ?Oui. Maintenant, si on regarde, 70% du financement, c'était l'USAID. C'est-à- dire, 70% des 6,5 millions de personnes sont à risque.Elles sont directement impactées, ce qui fait plus de 4 millions de personnes, c'est ça ?Oui.Donc, vous estimez que, dans l'Est de la RDC, au moins 4 millions de personnes risquent d'être impactées par la suspension de l'USAID, c'est ça ?Affirmatif.Alors, c'est à la fin du mois de janvier que le président Trump a annoncé la suspension de l'USAID pour 3 mois, c'est-à-dire jusqu'à la fin du mois d'avril. Est-ce que vous avez l'espoir que cette aide reprenne, ou est-ce qu'aujourd'hui, vous êtes désespéré, est-ce que vous n'y croyez plus ?Nous, on l'espère. Parce qu'on est en train de passer le message pour dire que vraiment la population a besoin de l'aide. Et vraiment, si on ne peut pas les aider, c'est comme si on était en train de les laisser mourir. Ils n'ont pas accès à l'eau potable, or, ils ont besoin de ça. Et tous les malades, avec lesquels on a discuté, souffrent des épidémies de choléra, de Mpox, et peut-être d'Ebola. S'ils n'accèdent pas à l'eau potable, c'est un problème. C'est le moment de vraiment appuyer la population. Parce que c'était d'abord la guerre qui les a impactées et maintenant, c'est la suspension des autres financements qui a amené un très gros impact. Si on avait seulement la guerre et la disponibilité des financements, ce serait un peu mieux.Non seulement il y a la guerre, mais en plus, il y a la rupture de l'aide américaine ?Exact.Et pour les populations, c'est terrible ?Oui.À lire aussiÀ la Une: Goma coupée du monde

Caroline Lucas was elected as the first ever MP for the Green Party and served as their leader three times. Having completed a PhD in English, worked for Oxfam, and been involved in local Green Party politics, she went on to serve in the European Parliament for a decade. In 2010, she was elected to Parliament as the MP for Brighton Pavilion and, during her 14 years in Westminster, the Green Party went from 0.9% of the national vote to 6.4%. Although she stepped down, a record 4 Green Party MPs were elected at the 2024 election. On the podcast - the 150th episode of Women With Balls - Caroline tells Katy Balls about growing up with different politics to her Conservative-voting parents, why her views on nuclear weapons haven't changed, and whether the left can be patriotic. She also talks about being a peer of Nigel Farage in Brussels, what it's like being the sole parliamentary party representative, and why she never considered joining the Labour Party. She argues that there is a political urgency for the left to discuss ‘Englishness', as outlined in her bestselling book Another England: How To Reclaim Our National Story, which is available now in paperback.  Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

From refugee camps to Oxfam's helm, Danny Sriskandarajah has witnessed firsthand how real change can happen—not in boardrooms, but on streets and in communities. Drawing from his book "Power to the People," he challenges the development sector's top-down mindset by showcasing how citizen action, from anti-corruption movements to neighborhood repair cafes, creates lasting social transformation. In an era where just 3% of humanity lives in truly open societies, Sriskandarajah presents a compelling case for what he calls "the undergrowth": the vital networks of civic engagement that bypass traditional institutions to build solutions from the ground up. His message is both urgent and optimistic: in a world of climate crisis and democratic decline, our most powerful lever for change isn't waiting for permission—it's citizens reclaiming their power.

The wealth of the world's billionaires grew at roughly $5.7 billion (€5.5 billion) per day last year, according to Oxfam's annual report on the financial affairs of the richest people on earth.Meanwhile, the number of people living in poverty has barely changed since 1990, according to the World Bank.Oxfam's latest research reveals the number of Irish billionaires has risen from nine to 11 in the past year, and that their combined wealth has increased by more than a third to just over €50 billion.Oxfam is using the report, issued to coincide with the annual Davos gathering of the super wealthy, to argue for new taxes on the rich. But, while better-off people generally pay more tax on their incomes, the world's billionaires pay extremely low levels of income tax and, on some occasions, none at all.How does a system exist where the super wealthy pay a lower tax rate than a teacher or a retail worker?And will a tax for the super-rich ever happen or are things only going to get worse with Donald Trump sitting in the White House, surrounded by billionaires?Irish Times writer specialising in economics and finance Cliff Taylor explains why the richest people on earth are able to avoid paying tax.Presented by Sorcha Pollak.

Silicon Valley's biggest power players traded in their hoodies for suits and ties this week as they sat front and center to watch Donald Trump take the oath of office again.Seated in front of the incoming cabinet were Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Google's Sundar Pichai, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, and Trump confidant and leader of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk. Apple CEO Tim Cook, Sam Altman from OpenAI, and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew also looked on.For an industry once skeptical of Trump, this dramatic transformation in political allegiance portends changes for the country — and the world. From the relaxing of hate speech rules on Meta platforms to the mere hourslong ban of TikTok to the billions of government dollars being pledged to build data centers to power AI, it is still only the beginning of this realignment.On this week's episode of The Intercept Briefing, Justin Hendrix, the CEO and editor of Tech Policy Press, and Intercept political reporter Jessica Washington dissect this shift. “Three of the individuals seated in front of the Cabinet are estimated by Oxfam in its latest report on wealth inequality are on track to potentially become trillionaires in the next just handful of years: Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk,” says Hendrix. “Musk is estimated to be the first trillionaire on the planet, possibly as early as 2027.”Washington says there's more at stake than just personal wealth. “These are people who view themselves as world-shapers, as people who create reality in a lot of ways. Aligning themselves with Trump and with power in this way is not just about their financial interests, it's about pushing their vision of the world.”To hear more of this conversation, check out this week's episode of The Intercept Briefing.

Ieri Oxfam ha pubblicato un report dal titolo “Disuguaglianza: povertà ingiusta e ricchezza immeritata”. Questo perché mentre i miliardari vedono le loro fortune crescere a ritmi senza precedenti, la povertà estrema e la precarietà economica continuano ad affliggere gran parte della popolazione mondiale. In Italia il 5% più ricco delle famiglie italiane possiede il 47,7% della ricchezza nazionale. Intanto Donald Trump si è insediato alla Casa Bianca, mentre la Corte Costituzionale ha giudicato inammissibile il referendum sull'autonomia differenziata (ammissibili quelli sulla cittadinanza e il jobs act). ...

Erin and Jake started the show talking about Donald Trump's first day back in office as the 47th President of the United States. His second inauguration had to be held indoors due to an arctic front in DC, keeping the guest list small—just 750 people, including some big names in tech like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. In his speech, Trump pledged a "golden age" for America, took some jabs at the Biden administration, and proposed an "External Revenue Service" to investigate imposing international tariffs. Among the nearly 100 executive orders signed on Trump's first day were declarations of a national emergency at the southern border, policies to block new asylum seekers, and efforts to undermine birthright citizenship. Trump also withdrew the US from the Paris Climate Agreement, reversed drilling protections, and scrapped diversity and inclusion programs across federal agencies. Finally, he established there being only two genders as federal policy and removed protections for transgender people in federal prisons.Then they broke down how exactly the Israel-Hamas ceasefire of 2025, brokered by Qatar, the US, and Egypt, was reached. The deal consists of a three phase plan, starting with a 42-day long ceasefire, during which Hamas will release 33 Israeli hostages taken 15 months ago, focusing on women, children, and the elderly, while Israel agreed to release around 100 Palestinian prisoners and pull back from populated areas of Gaza. The second phase will try to establish more permanent peace agreements, with discussions to secure the release of remaining hostages and a full Israeli withdrawal. Finally, the third phase will focus on rebuilding Gaza and returning any remaining hostages' bodies. But the deal remains tenuous given the record of distrust between Israel and Hamas—a dynamic closely followed by figures like Ursula Von Der Leyen and global leaders at the World Economic Forum.Speaking of which, Erin and Jake unpack the Davos 2025 highlights, where leaders like Volodymir Zelensky and global business elites gathered to tackle geopolitical challenges, and the future of crypto under the Trump administration. Oxfam's latest report revealed that billionaires grew even wealthier in 2024, with predictions of five trillionaires emerging within a decade, up from their prediction a year ago that there would only be one in this time. Generally speaking, the forum highlighted a looser crypto regulatory environment in the Trump era, and there was a focus on how the business community can respond to growing geopolitical tensions around the world. Finally, they wrap up with a round of Have You Heard Headlines: a rebel attack in Colombia that killed 60, former Pakistani PM Imran Khan's 14-year sentence for corruption, a Turkish ski resort fire that claimed 66 lives, the UK and Ukraine signing a 100-year defense partnership, a Taliban-US prisoner exchange, Denmark dropping its controversial parenting tests in Greenland, and a Hungarian man's daring cling to a German high-speed train.Stay With Me Here is an independent project, and all views and opinions expressed in this show, and in this writeup, represent our personal views and not that of any organization we're affiliated with. Erin Flanagan is a former U.S. Coast Guard intelligence officer and Agence France-Presse digital investigations journalist.Jacob Shropshire is an editorial intern at Worldcrunch and the managing editor of Peacock Media at the American University of Paris.

 Would you like to make a difference in someone's life? How do you know the best place to donate either time or money? Where will it help the most? Today's guest is Marc Gold who is the founder and director of the 100 Friends Project based in San Francisco and Bangkok. Marc collects donations, then travels to Third World Countries and looks for the neediest people. He then puts the money to work in the most compassionate, appropriate, culturally compatible, constructive, and practical manner possible and reports back to the donors. At a very young age, Marc's father taught him the importance of trying to make the world a better place. There are so many people who need so much worldwide. He goes looking for people not served by anyone and chose to work overseas. Marc has taught high school in Harlem and has taught classes at numerous community colleges around the country. He teaches half the year and lives with his sister, then travels as inexpensively as possible. Marc also talks about the way people rate top organizations such as Oxfam and Doctors Without Borders and how they utilize their resources very effectively in getting a large percentage of donations to those with the most need.  In his travels, he has also met and worked with Mother Teresa. He talks about how any donation, no matter how large or small, can make a significant difference in someone's life. Info: www.100friends.org

An Oxfam audit of the World Bank's 2017-2023 climate finance portfolio found that between $24 billion and $41 billion in climate finance went unaccounted for between the time projects were approved and when they closed. There is no clear public record showing where this money went or how it was used, which makes any assessment of its impacts impossible. It also remains unclear whether these funds were even spent on climate-related initiatives intended to help low- and middle-income countries protect people from the impacts of the climate crisis and invest in clean energy.
