Bond Members (UK network of organisations working in international development)
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has warned us that we need to take urgent action to avoid catastrophic environmental breakdown. Humanity is facing environmental, economic and social crises that are interconnected. It is impossible to solve one of these crises without addressing the others.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are not enough because they do not challenge the concentration of power in favour of privileged elites in both public and private spaces. We are calling on international NGOs to focus on theses actions and bridge the economic, social and ecological crises.
