Aid agencies have called on prime minister Andy Burnham to address drivers of inequality, injustice and poverty following the decision to reallocate international aid to help fight the climate crisis towards funding a cap on UK bus fares.
The heads of 98 organisations, including Oxfam GB, WaterAid and ActionAid UK, have warned that countries already trapped in unfair debt cycles could be left with few choices but to borrow more to address the climate crisis. They highlighted that the crisis is not of their making.
