Briefing session for parliamentarians: SDG 1 and the UN definition of poverty
By videoconference
Canadian Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (UIPU
On 20 October 2020, the Inter-Parliamentary Union hosted a virtual briefing for parliamentarians on “UN processes: Sustainable Development Goal 1 (SDG 1) and the UN definition of poverty.” Presenters included former United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights, Philip Alston, Dr. George Gray Molina from the United Nations Development Programme and Barbara Adams, President of the Global Policy Forum. The panelists presented a critical analysis of how global poverty is being measured by the UN, World Bank and other international policymakers. Discussion also included an evaluation of the state of poverty alleviation around the world, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the steps necessary to make the achievement of SDG 1 – “End poverty in all its forms everywhere” – a reality. The Honourable Kim Pate, Senator, joined the discussion, asking how international poverty reduction efforts can be made relevant to domestic reform initiatives in high-income countries like Canada and whether there were studies which estimated the cost of poverty on economies around the world.
