Safer World For All Campaign

AVI is joining with individuals and organisations across Australia calling on our leaders to act now to build a safer world for all.

Our world is at a turning point.

Two decades of progress fighting infectious diseases, empowering women and girls and building education and economic prosperity stalled when the Pandemic hit.

Now, threats to our world are intensifying – dangerous weather, increased wars and soaring inequality.

If we do nothing, today’s challenges will become tomorrow’s catastrophes.

Decisions made by this generation can put the world back on track.

This is best for the world and best for Australia. But it won’t happen on its own.

We need you to join us.

Add your voice and call for a safer world for all.

Australian aid is only 0.68 per cent of the Federal Budget. In a world where one in five children are living in conflict zones, 733 million people are chronically undernourished and rising seas are threatening our neighbor’s island homes, that isn’t right.

We know that the same factors driving the cost-of-living crisis in Australia are causing some of the worst poverty, instability and inequality we’ve seen in decades, and that a slight increase can make a world of difference.

Australia is one of the safest, healthiest and most generous countries in the world.

It’s time for Down Under to step up.

This election, we’re asking you join AVI and call on Members of Parliament to commit to increasing our aid budget to at least 1 per cent of our Federal Budget.

We are calling on our nation’s leaders to:

INCREASE INVESTMENT IN AUSTRALIAN AID

Double the Humanitarian Emergency Fund to $300 million annually for responding to new crises as they emerge.

Invest an additional $350 million per year to better prepare for mounting natural and humanitarian disasters, through disaster risk reduction, tackling root causes and preventing conflict

Lift Australia’s foreign aid budget to 0.36% of gross national income by 2027 with a bipartisan commitment to reach 0.5%

SUPPORT A FAIRER GLOBAL ECONOMY

Australia must support global efforts to make debt, tax, trade, and investment fairer for developing countries.

CONTRIBUTE TO A SAFER CLIMATE

Annual commitment of $4 billion for global climate finance contributions

A $100 million initial contribution to the Loss and Damage Fund

Advance a global, just, and equitable phase out of coal, oil and gas through endorsing the call for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
