An expert committee has formally proposed that G20 leaders establish a new International Panel on Inequality (IPI), modeled after the UN’s climate body, to track and address the alarming global wealth gap. This call was made ahead of the G20 summit and cites a report that finds 90% of the world’s population lives in countries suffering from dangerously high inequality, threatening both democratic stability and economic progress. Since 2000, the wealthiest one percent have captured 41% of all new global wealth, significantly outpacing gains for the poorest half of humanity. The creation of such an independent panel would provide a vital mechanism for analyzing underlying causes and recommending coordinated global policy responses.
