Today, the Roadmap on Poverty Eradication beyond Growth was presented to the Human Rights Council in Geneva. It was developed under the mandate of the former Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, Olivier De Schutter, building on more than 400 contributors from trade unions, UN agencies, academics, policymakers, and civil society movements across the Global North and the Global South.
It contains 80 concrete policy measures to democratise and decolonise the economy while respecting planetary limits. One proposed, key policy is for a binding agreement on business and human rights which could regulate transnational corporations and global value chains to comply with human rights, labour standards, gender equality commitments, and climate justice.
