Global Alliance Against Inequality Calls for Action Following the Compromiso de Sevilla

Seville / New York, 3 July 2025. The Global Alliance Against Inequality, a cross-regional coalition committed to advancing equitable and inclusive societies, welcomes the strong emphasis on tackling inequality in the Compromiso de Sevilla, the outcome document of the Fourth United Nations International Conference on Financing for Development held in Seville, Spain from 30 June to 3 July 2025.

The Global Alliance commends the multilateral consensus reflected in the Compromiso de Sevilla, which reaffirms the international community’s determination to combat inequality as a central obstacle to sustainable development and social cohesion. The document sets out a forward-looking agenda to close the global financing gap and accelerate progress toward the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

In particular, the Global Alliance highlights the commitments to address inequalities through public sector and fiscal reform, as well as by enhancing access to inclusive digital financial services and initiatives. It also recognizes the Compromiso de Sevilla as a critical complement to the Pact for the Future, adopted in 2024, and a timely reminder that development finance must be people-centered and inequality-responsive. The emphasis on equitable resource allocation, including development cooperation, progressive taxation and debt sustainability, together with a renewed focus on governance and anti-corruption is a necessary step toward rebuilding trust, renewing the social contract and rapidly reducing inequality.

The Global Alliance also welcomes the meaningful participation of civil society, academia, and the private sector in Seville and celebrates the growing momentum to strengthen multilateral cooperation in an increasingly fractured world. As we approach the final stretch toward 2030, the Global Alliance reaffirms its commitment to collective action that places justice, inclusion, and equality at the heart of financing for development.

Initiated by Czechia, Germany, Norway, and Sierra Leone with the support of Oxfam International and the Pathfinders for Peaceful, Just and Inclusive Societies, the Global Alliance Against Inequality was officially launched at the Hamburg Sustainability Conference in June 2025. The Global Alliance will continue to elevate inequality on the global agenda, including by continued engagement with stakeholders through multiple activities, including in the next High- Level Political Forum to be held in New York later this month.
