A Time for Truth in Times of Post-Truth

By Simone Ticehurst – Movement Lead WEAll

 

Brazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has called this November’s UN Climate Conference (COP30) in Belém “the COP of truth.” Ten years after the Paris Agreement, the question everyone is asking is: will promises and commitments finally become action? As forests burn, rivers flood, and temperature records shatter, do we still have the luxury of debating whether to act?

 

 

 

 

For our next WEAll Talk join UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, Olivier De Schutter to hear about the new Roadmap for Eradicating Poverty Beyond Growth.

 

As the international community prepares for the negotiation of the next global development agenda, the Roadmap seeks to fill a critical gap: providing concrete policy alternatives for a future where ending poverty is not postponed to the promises of growth, but embedded in the very architecture of our economies.
