Oxfam France's Selma Huart told France 24 that wealthy investors profit from both polluting industries and climate-disaster reconstruction, while vulnerable populations bear the costs. The interview was published on November 3, 2026, as part of Oxfam's Destroy and Rebuild Index. Huart said the world's most vulnerable populations bear the brunt of the climate crisis while the wealthy and powerful profit. She quoted her view that investors are burning the planet, benefiting from it, and also benefiting from rebuilding. Huart placed redistribution at the centre of the policy response she described, though the excerpt available did not give further detail on specific proposals.
