Not everyone is in the same boat! The 26 richest people in the world, hold as much wealth as half its population Life chances depend on gender, race and whether or not a person has a disability. These global inequalities are being made worse by the pandemic. And the world is reaching a breaking point. A bleak reality laid bare by the UN secretary general. Antonio Guterres has delivered one of his most hard-hitting messages. He says the disparities start with the biggest institutions, and they should be eradicated under a new model of global governance, that guarantees a fair share of wealth, opportunity and power.
