Professor Joseph E. Stiglitz | Meeting the Inequality Emergency | International Panel on Inequality

On 16 March, UNRISD convened the first meeting of the Founding Committee of the International Panel on Inequality (#IPI) at the Palais des Nations, marking an important step toward building a global, science-based platform to tackle inequality. Inspired by the #IPCC model, the IPI aims to respond to growing evidence that extreme inequality is undermining democracy and economic progress. Bringing together global leaders and experts, the discussion emphasized that inequality is a matter of policy choice — and that collective action and multilateral cooperation are key to change.
