AROUND the world we are going through major crises: the ongoing pandemic; the continuing climate chaos; and, in many parts of the world, the cost-of-living crisis.
In Britain, we’ve seen Covid deaths reach over 200,000; dangerous and unprecedented temperatures which have led to fires across the country; and skyrocketing energy bills and soaring prices, after more than a decade of stagnating wages and declining conditions in the workplace.
It’s clear that the problems we face in Britain are symptomatic of these global challenges and that means we’ll need global action to address them — changing the way that we do global politics, and restructuring institutions so that international public need comes before the greed of multinational corporations.
