#GlobalJustice
A plan to reconcile prosperity, equality, and planetary boundaries. Presented at the World Inequality Conference in Paris, the Global Justice Report argues that it is possible to ensure a high level of well-being while respecting planetary limits by 2100. According to the report, this goal rests on three inseparable conditions: the rapid decarbonization of energy systems, a shift in production and consumption patterns toward greater sufficiency, and a substantial reduction in inequality. The authors propose a roadmap that simultaneously combines global wealth redistribution, reform of the international financial architecture, transformation of energy systems, and changes in consumption habits. Read the report.

#GenerationEqualityForum
As the financial commitments made during the Generation Equality Forum in 2021 reach their deadline, UN Women analyzes the 50.3 billion dollars in commitments and 21 billion dollars in spending mobilized in support of gender equality over the past five years. However, the report highlights significant inequalities in the allocation of funding: feminist, local, and youth-led organizations remain underfunded, with an estimated shortfall of 577 million dollars for youth organizations. The report calls for more flexible, predictable funding that is directly accessible to grassroots actors in order to sustainably strengthen the rights of women and girls.

#Migration
In its 2026 edition report, the IOM highlights the contribution of safe and regular migration pathways to economic growth, job creation, and social cohesion. While by mid-2024 the number of international migrants was estimated at 304 million (3.7% of the global population), access to migration opportunities remains unequal and tends to favor people living in high-income countries. In 2024, remittances were estimated at 905 billion dollars, exceeding the combined total of official development assistance and foreign direct investment.

#HIV
UNAIDS is warning about the risk of a resurgence of the HIV epidemic worldwide. According to its latest report, cuts in international aid, combined with increasing restrictions on human rights in several countries, are weakening prevention, testing, and care services. In 2025, HIV testing declined by 22% in some high-prevalence countries, while access to prevention tools such as PrEP and condoms has sharply decreased, threateningthe progress achieved. UNAIDS warns that without renewed commitment and concrete action, the epidemic could rise again.

#ForeignPolicy
The International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) publishes the “Gender Equality in Foreign Policy Index 2026”, which provides a comparative framework to assess how states integrate gender equality into their international policies. The index analyzes government performance across seven key areas. Beyond formal commitments, it measures the extent to which policies can reduce structural inequalities and transform power relations.

#Debt #GenderEquality
UNDP warns about the deeply unequal impacts of the burden of external debt in countries of the Global South. As governments devote an increasing share of their resources to debt repayment, women are the first to be affected: job losses, declining incomes, increased domestic workloads, and reduced access to public services. According to the report, this pressure has already resulted in the loss of 55 million jobs held by women and a 17% decline in income per capita. The consequences also affect health, with rising maternal mortality rates in the most heavily indebted countries.
