The era of rapid reductions in global extreme poverty came to an end with the COVID-19 pandemic. The global goal of cutting the extreme poverty
rate to 3 percent by 2030 had slipped out of reach. A new World Bank’s report, "Poverty, Prosperity, and Planet", identifies overlapping crises and gives governments a comprehensive framework to monitor progress, identify new pathways to success, and choose
the right policy priorities.
Among the key findings of the report:
How can governments speed up the progress on ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity on a livable planet? This event
will explore solutions and recommendations for policymakers.
Join us to discuss potential pathways out of the polycrisis.
