Rethinking our economic model for Decent work and Human development

This closing plenary will critically examine the shortcomings of current macroeconomic models in addressing today’s fundamental challenges and explore alternative, human-centered approaches to growth and development. 

It calls for a paradigm shift away from GDP-focused frameworks towards models that prioritize sustainability and equity. Bringing together leading thinkers, this plenary will interrogate the principles underpinning global macroeconomic policy and chart pathways toward a more just and resilient future.
