  "abstract": "The current global scientific landscape is structured as a hierarchy that prioritises Global North epistemologies while treating knowledge from the Global South as peripheral. This exclusion is maintained through three primary pillars of inequity: academic dependency, linguistic and financial gatekeeping, and extractive research practices. In the face of planetary-scale crises, we cannot afford to ignore the insights of most of the world’s population due to systemic imbalances. Here we contextualise the Brandt Line’s legacy and argue that the exclusion of southern voices is a critical scientific integrity issue that limits our ability to solve global challenges. To address current asymmetries, we propose a strategy of seven complementary pathways requiring coordinated action by both southern and northern stakeholders. Ultimately, achieving true sustainability requires a scientific ecosystem that is as diverse, representative, and resilient as the planet it seeks to protect.",
