The world is facing some of the fastest growing challenges seen for generations, from the climate emergency to conflict to food insecurity.

It is a pivotal time in our global history when countries must cooperate beyond borders and work together to solve the challenges we are facing. 

But German Finance Minister Christian Lindner risks undermining essential global collaboration and forcing Germany to abandon its international obligations by proposing millions of euros in cuts to development cooperation, humanitarian aid, and global climate protection. 

His proposal has sparked outrage from humanitarian organisations across Germany and jeopardizes Germany's credibility with partner countries..

A decision on what the German budget can look like will be made on May 2. This is our window of opportunity to stop these catastrophic cuts to BMZ from going through. 

Send an urgent tweet to Finance Minister Christian Lindner calling on him to invest in a safe future for all.
