🛰️ A $3 trillion missile shield over North America could mean less funding for healthcare, education, and climate action — more nuclear tension — and fewer resources for space and environmental science.

“We need a new vision of security—human-centered and rooted in the UN Charter. A vision that safeguards people, not just borders; that prioritizes institutions, equity and planetary sustainability. Rebalancing global priorities is not optional—it is an imperative for humanity’s survival.”

⚠️ BREAKING: Israeli naval forces have illegally intercepted and boarded the Global Sumud #Flotilla’s vessel Sirius and other boats in international waters.

This is an illegal assault on unarmed humanitarians. We urge governments and international bodies to demand their immediate safety and release.

The world spent $2.7 trillion on its militaries in 2024.

Less than 15% of the global military spending could help developing countries adapt to climate annually.

Nearly half the world's population (3.6 billion people) are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

$5 trillion could fund 12 years of quality education for every child in low- and lower middle-income countries.

In 2023, more than 272 million children were out of school.
