Da sich die
Wirtschaftskrise verschlimmert, ist es die allererste Pflicht der Regierungen,
das politische und ökonomische System dahingehend neu zu gestalten, dass kein
Mensch mehr an Hunger stirbt. Dies wird aber ohne eine beispiellose
Unterstützung der öffentlichen Meinung
nicht möglich sein, sagt Mohammed
Mesbahi.
Editierte Fassung aus einem
Interview von Adam Parsons.
The World Bank's latest data suggests a decline in global poverty throughout every region of the developing world, as well as the fulfillment of the Millennium Development Goal on halving poverty well ahead of schedule. But is this really the 'good news' that we are led to believe? By Adam Parsons.
The experience of Iceland, as
highlighted in the film ‘Future of Hope', presents movements for social justice
with a vision for creating change on a global scale. Central to this process is
the need to replace self-interest, competition and greed with values that promote
the development of a sustainable and equitable world - such as sharing and
cooperation, argues Rajesh Makwana.
Devant la crise
économique qui s’aggrave, la réponse correcte des gouvernements serait de
concevoir nos systèmes politique et économique de manière nouvelle de sorte que
personne ne meure plus de faim. Mais, cela ne se fera pas sans une montée
sans précédent de soutien populaire, déclare Mohammed Mesbahi. Transcrit
à partir d’une interview par Adam Parsons.
As the economic crisis worsens, the foremost responsibility
of governments is to redesign our political and economic systems so that no-one
dies of
hunger. But this will never happen without an unparalleled uprising of public
support, says Mohammed Mesbahi. Edited from an interview by Adam
Parsons.
A
solution to the world's problems cannot be brought about by any political party
or ideology, and can only happen through a free, united and single voice of the
world's people - for whom an end to life-threatening deprivation in every country
must become the first priority, says Mohammed Mesbahi. Edited from an interview by Adam
Parsons.
Finding
ways to increase tax revenue is critical if developing countries are to fund essential
public services and reduce poverty. Global reforms to tackle tax evasion and policies
to strengthen the capacity of national revenue authorities should be a top priority
for development cooperation, argues Adam Parsons.
The international response to the East African crisis is far short of urgent needs, yet the extreme deprivation being reported is only the tip of the iceberg. A massively upscaled redistribution of resources from North to South is needed if we are to prevent needless poverty-related deaths worldwide, write Rajesh Makwana and Adam Parsons.
Filmmaker Emily James spent a year documenting the secretive world of environmental direct action, delving into the motivations, creativity and determination of those involved. The result is a film which breaks through tired stereotypes and may just inspire the new wave of protest actions across Europe, writes Adam Parsons.
An internationally coordinated effort to secure universal social protection may not address the structural factors which make people vulnerable to poverty, but it could represent a major step forward in the fight against needless suffering and deprivation, argues Adam Parsons.
