Who We Are

The Global Alliance is co-chaired by Sierra Leone and Czech Republic, with the support of Germany and seeks to establish a strong global political platform to address vertical and horizontal inequalities, with the ultimate goal of strengthening democracy, promoting respect for human rights, and fostering peaceful, just, and inclusive societies.

It aims to promote a collaborative framework for addressing inequality through joint public events, actionable policy recommendations, and other initiatives in the lead-up to the completion of the 2030 Agenda. This initiative lays the groundwork for a robust post-2030 development agenda and builds upon more than five years of research, expertise, advocacy, and political mobilization from the Pathfinders' Inequality and Exclusion program.

Our Objectives

The Pathfinders’ Global Alliance will encourage countries to:

  • Highlight practical solutions including improved data collection and measurement to promote equitable redistribution of resources and power within and between countries.
  • Mainstream the fight against inequality in multilateral processes to uphold equal dignity and rights for all.
  • Expand knowledge on the link between inequality, inclusion, and governments’ capacity to make impactful national and international commitments.
These efforts will emphasize the collective role of diverse stakeholders in shaping shared solutions, engaging in constructive dialogue, and implementing effective policies to combat inequality, exclusion, and division.

Launch of the Global Alliance at the Hamburg Sustainability Conference

A High-Level Stage Panel during the upcoming Hamburg Sustainability Conference on June 3, 2025, will mark a pivotal moment for global efforts to combat inequality with the launch of the Pathfinders’ Global Alliance Against Inequality. This ministerial-level event will bring together a cross-regional group of representatives from the initiative, highlighting the collective commitment of governments, civil society, and international organizations to reducing inequality worldwide. Panelists will showcase concrete national, bilateral, and multilateral strategies to address inequality, drawing on lessons from existing initiatives such as national inequality reduction plans, international tax reforms, and the Inequality Solutions Portal. The session will also highlight contributions from civil society partners and other stakeholders.
