With the support of emergency response services from surrounding areas, local first responders had the chance to say goodbye to one of their own Tuesday.

The aid system beyond the point where it can deal with the runaway train. what did he mean by that? well, for example, the number of people just in the last couple of years, two years ago, 30 million people were displaced because of climate alone, and that numbers only going to get worse and worse. when you look, regardless of your views of climate change, whats caused it, and i can assure you what we see in the results of a changing climate, were seeing it firsthand. of the number of incidents ...

And i think we can take the actions necessary to address climate change, to deliver a far more equitable planet. i mean, you talked about the sort of history of radical ideas — if we were sitting here 50, 60 years ago and we said what we really need is an international system for aid, where rich countries put aside a portion of their budgets to finance development around the world, people would have said, thats unrealistic, thats naive, its never going to happen. and yet weve delivered an aid ...

And publish our actions. isnt one of the problems, though, that there is a fundamental problematic power dynamic at play in a lot of the work you do in some of the most disadvantaged and poorest countries in the world? you send out your staff — they are largely, you know, if theyre coming from the uk, western staff, to work with these poor people. not all of them, but some of them, are male staff members working with vulnerable females. im going to quote you a writer on international developme...

The proportion of the worlds population living in extreme poverty has declined sharply over the past 30 years. heres the bad news. still close to one in 20 of all the worlds people relies on humanitarian assistance for survival. with many nations cutting their aid budgets, international ngos remain a linchpin of the global aid system. but are they fit for purpose? well, my guest is danny sriskandarajah, chief executive of oxfam great britain. he promised to reimagine what aid would look like. ha...

We began by trying to make sense and interpret sometimes complicated statistics when it comes to hunger and extreme poverty. youll know that there are data analysts, economists, social scientists, who look at the data, despite what youve said about the last year, and they are real optimists about the future of humanity. im thinking about people like hans rosling and steven pinker. youre at the front line of all of this. are you an optimist or a pessimist about the future of us as a species? so i...

"is a fig leaf that fails to cover up "a naked truth — that of a severely limited effort "to address global problems and repair historical and present day injustice" — ie, the aid system as we know it, both governmental and nongovernmental, simply doesnt work. its not fit for purpose. i think professor reddy is spot—on on the fact that we need a reset. we need to re—imagine how to fund global public goods. the idea that organisations like ours go cap in hand to beg for resources after di...
