[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]One of the most ambitious anti-poverty agendas to reach the United Nations in years went\u00a0 before the 62nd session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, and the Global Development Research Division has helped shape it. The Roadmap for Eradicating Poverty Beyond Growth<\/em> was presented on 25 June 2026, and a substantive policy profile within it has been drafted by Professor Henny Osbahr, Professor of International Development.<\/p>\n

Developed under the mandate of Olivier De Schutter, the former UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, the Roadmap moves beyond the assumption that economic growth is the only route out of poverty and sets out a toolkit of 80 concrete policy measures for building a human rights economy centred on wellbeing, democratic governance, and ecological justice.<\/p>\n

Professor Osbahr contributed the policy profile on community governance of the commons, a theme that sits at the heart of her research on rural livelihoods and the governance of shared natural resources.<\/p>\n

The presentation to the Human Rights Council and discussion can now be viewed<\/a>, including the profile on community governance of the commons, and the report is published via the New Economies for Eradicating Poverty<\/a> website.<\/p>\n
