AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

The report expands significantly, adding many new recitals and paragraphs on debt, climate, tax, and geopolitical issues, and shifting focus to structural reform of the international financial architecture. New calls include a UN Framework Convention on Sovereign Debt, a UN tax convention, and mandatory EITI, while strengthening gender equality and civil society participation. The report now emphasizes that private finance cannot replace public investment, and adds specific funding targets for education and UNRWA. It also responds to the US withdrawal from foreign assistance, positioning the EU as a key actor and calling for increased ODA budgets. The other changes are formal: updated heading and forwarding instruction.
