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? 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.

Sabina Alkire is director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at Oxford University. With her colleague James Foster she devised a new method for measuring multidimensional poverty.

Sharon Bessell is the Director of the Poverty and Inequality Research Centre at The Australian National University and heads the Individual Measurement of Multidimensional Poverty Program.
