The Concordia summit organizers expressed worry that in spite of the
fact that large populations in every country are above extreme and national poverty lines, they are still faced with economic insecurity and some level of deprivation.
According to them, “The next generation needs a new way of thinking about inclusion that starts with everyone having their full range of essential needs met.
“Can the world move toward a higher benchmark and erase poverty more decisively and do so while simultaneously taking action to get on a net-zero pathway?”
