The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is the global promise for an equitable and just society. With a rise in extreme economic inequality, a climate emergency and over half the world’s poorest countries spending more on debt than development, our economic system is failing both people and the planet. It is high time to make our economies work for human rights.

In this podcast series, we will explore the contributions that human rights can offer to economic policymaking.

We will talk with prominent economists who have dedicated their lives to advancing economic growth that promotes equitable societies and discuss how to reinforce the interconnections between economic policy and human rights to advance more just and sustainable societies.
