A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Jesus, while I admire the effort that must be the most frustrating job in the world.
Them: "Here's the solution to saving humanity and our planet and creating equity and end suffering."
Our leaders: "No."
Our leaders: let me ask my boss
Gates, Bezos and Musk: "No"
The boss is the voters who keep choosing to vote for narcissistic sociopathic candidates.
I've only ever voted Green, I've never voted for any omnicidal capitalists.
It's not "propaganda" making more than 90% of people choose leaders who will continue pushing us towards a mass extinction event, more genocides, oligarchy, etc.. It's that almost all voters are as greedy, short-sighted, and sociopathic as the people they keep voting for.

thats the answer, thanks.
But how does it preserve shareholder profits?
And some poor CEO really needs a new yacht
The report will be unveiled and discussed at the World Inequality Conference from 4-6 June in Paris, with speakers including Ha-Joon Chang, Jean Drèze, Jayati Ghosh, Mariana Mazzucato, Branko Milanović, Lea Ypi and Gabriel Zucman.
Jason Hickel, a professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and a visiting senior fellow at LSE, said: “It’s an important and timely intervention. All of this is technically feasible to achieve – we can have good lives for all within planetary boundaries – but it will require organised political struggle to make it happen.”
All well and good but the wrong people are in charge and those people and the people that follow them are not simply going to step aside. A realistic policy to deal with that is also needed. I suppose it might be dealt with by education.

No amount of education is going to get them to relinquish power voluntarily. They will use every tactic at their disposal, from propaganda to violence, to cling to it, and we must be prepared to counter that force.
Depends, if you put the leaders and billionaires in a learning camp where they garden and make art for the rest of their lives, that alone would eliminate the CO2 of many countries.

Very correct, and I think that it's important that we have cohesive, economy wide experts collaborating to work on solutions to all of these issues.
This report will never come to fruition, but it helps to combat the narrative that "all this green leftist shit is just not feasible". Because it starts to untangle that by demonstrating feasibility and paving the way for discourse that could at least improve the trajectory we are on
In US billionaires also control the education. In Europe it's not much better.
Thanks Rockefeller!
