2025 is a key year for debt justice. With countries in the global south facing the worst debt crisis in history, there is an urgent need for debt relief and cancellation, as well as structural global finance architecture reform. The stakes today are higher than ever, with growing recognition of a deeper injustice: a mounting ecological debt that has disproportionately burdened the world’s poorest countries, fueling inequality and environmental destruction.

With both the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development, taking place in Seville, Spain at the end of June and the Catholic Jubilee happening this year, civil society organisations the world over are mobilising around debt justice. 

Add your voice today and call on leaders to turn debt into hope and prioritise life. Your support will be crucial to driving transformative change in 2025 and beyond.

The three main calls of the petition are:  

• Stop the debt crisis now by cancelling and remedying unjust and unsustainable debts, without economic policy conditions
• Prevent debt crises from happening again by addressing their root causes, reforming the global financial system to prioritise people and the planet
• Establish a permanent, transparent, binding and comprehensive debt framework within the United Nations
