Join Mark Kenny as he talks to three of the world’s leading voices on poverty measurement, research, and eradication about creating a post-COVID future without poverty. Is such a future possible? Why is it important to understand and measure multidimensional poverty? How can data on the gendered nature of poverty help inform policy responses to end poverty for all? What steps must the world take now to end poverty in all its forms, everywhere, by 2030?

Philip Alston is professor of law at New York University and recently ended his term as United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights.
