Can someone explain this with "simpler" english?

"Sustainable Development advanced as a discourse for all, North and South, rich and poor, thought the rich lost sight of the global equity aspect" ??

[Belkiss]

Global equity is a financial term 

you have to know its definition 

Global Equity

Featured snippet from the web

Global equity funds are mutual funds that focus on stocks from around the world. This includes the United States, developed international markets as well as emerging markets. The funds can hold a variety of sectors and industries, market caps and nations. They can be passively or actively managed

The rich never cared for equity.  That's why they amassed their fortunes.  How could one lose sight of something one never looked for in the first place?

Oh, I was supposed to translate.  Um...basically "global equity aspect" is anything (like a policy) which would bring equality (most likely socioeconomic) worldwide.

I think they were making a play on the term: global equity asset.

I feel like this could be better answered with some context. Where is this sentence from?
