Editorial by Nature [1] on the #OpenLetter to combat global #inequality to the #UN secretary general and #WorldBank president (equalshope.org/index.php/2023/ )

From the open letter:

"We are living through a time of extraordinarily high economic inequality. Extreme #poverty and extreme wealth have risen sharply and simultaneously for the first time in 25 years. Between 2019 and 2020, global inequality grew more rapidly than at any time since #WW2."
