The global financial and economic system is in crisis. Existing policies and institutions have overseen a system that reinforces high levels of poverty and inequality and which is contributing to an environmental catastrophe.
This autumn the G20 is back. On Friday 4 September, the G20 Finance Ministers are meeting

in London to discuss the financial crisis, for the first time since April’s G20 summit. In November they will meet again in St Andrews. So far they’ve flunked the challenge of putting people first in response to the financial crisis, preferring instead to patch up the old system that has led to poverty, inequality and the threat of climate chaos.
It's time to Put People First:
Join PPF activists in central London on Friday 4 September to tell the G20: No More Business As Usual. Demand action on jobs, justice and climate, learn more about some of the key institutions behind the crisis, and discuss what’s next for Put People First campaigning.
For more information see the Put People First website. To register to attend, email events@jubileedebtcampaign.org.uk or phone 020 7324 4722.
The last year has made us appreciate even more so than before that crises in one part of the world impact on other areas of the globe.
Solutions must therefore be truly global and not just designed to protect the interests of the most economically developed countries and the wealthy elites within them.
