Short Abstract:

Long Abstract:

COVID-19 laid bare the vulnerability of the institutions that lead to economic, social and financial crises. It exposed the underlying weakness of our broken the neoliberal economic model - calling for a reckoning. Our respective organisations where we work have tracked and monitored the COVID-19 crisis and argued for the last 2 years for a different economic model, including widening social protection packages and tackling the inequality crisis widened by the pandemic. We feel that now is the time to synthesize what we have learned so far to take policy lessons from the immediate experience of COVID-19 as a devastating global crisis, and also learn from the many alternative practices that are emerging in its wake to build a new economic model. This panel focuses on practice that has really engaged with / grappled with Human Rights as a guiding framework for alternative people and planet-centred economic models. It zooms into specific chapters of a book project that focuses on this topic.
