Gulf between rich and poor increases risk of climate breakdown as well as entrenches poverty, says letter to UN and World Bank

It corrodes our politics, destroys trust, hamstrings our collective economic prosperity and weakens multilateralism. We also know that without a sharp reduction in inequality, the twin goals of ending poverty and preventing climate breakdown will be in clear conflict.”
