In 2020, Climate Policy Initiative reported global climate finance flows at $632 billion, nowhere near our needs – conservatively estimated at $4.5-5 trillion annually. To transition to net-zero and guarantee a sustainable future, climate investment must increase drastically. Instead, our governments pour trillions into global military expenditure, a large portion of which finances the international arms trade, a $531 billion industry. It is no secret that billions-worth of financial resources are lost each year to pervasive corruption in the arms industry. It is time to demand sustainable spending priorities. #GivePeaceABudget #WelfareNotWarfare #MoveTheMoney
