Our Vision

At FJI, we envision a world where peoples’ needs are a priority, where communities thrive, and where ecosystems regenerate and flourish. Achieving this future depends on an economic and financial system that operates in ways that are just, sustainable, and aligned with the wellbeing of people and the planet.

Our vision of a just and sustainable financial system means:

• The institutions and rules that govern the financial system are fair, transparent, and accountable to the needs of people, communities, and the planet.
• The economy functions within our planetary boundaries.
• Care provision is recognised as a fundamental social good (that the economic and financial system cannot function without). It is recognised, resourced and prioritised accordingly in public policy and service provision.
• Human rights and people’s needs are central.
• The perils to our democracies inherent in the extreme concentrations of power and wealth in the hands of a tiny minority of billionaires are challenged through redistributive policies and the building of collective institutions/power.
• Regulation strengthens, rather than weakens, democratic accountability.
• Colonial legacies are recognised, and international agreements are based on the principles of historical responsibility and common but differentiated responsibility.
• All countries have meaningful economic sovereignty to chart their own paths and shape the financial rules that affect them.
• All countries can access and manage the financial (and other) resources to enable them to meet the needs of their people and realise their developmental goals.
