UN Secretary-General António Guterres urges world leaders to “get priorities straight” and invest in development, not destruction. Global military spending has hit $2.7 trillion, 13 times global development aid.
The world needs humanitarian assistance, with 200m people affected and 120m displaced. Guterres says investing in peace is key: $93bn could end world hunger, $285bn could vaccinate every child.
Guterres’ report “The Security We Need” highlights stark imbalances in global spending, calling for rebalancing military spending for a sustainable future.
