Special Rapporteur joins UNTFSSE and ILO-led Global Coalition for Social Justice to launch joint policy brief on the social and solidarity economy - New Economies for Eradicating Poverty

The new joint policy brief offers a deep dive into the ways in which the social and solidarity economy can advance the objectives of the Roadmap by supporting the eradication of poverty beyond growth.

New Economies for Eradicating Poverty -
In his 2024 report to the Human Rights Council on #EradicatingPoverty #BeyondGrowth, the Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and #humanrights identified the social and #solidaryeconomy (SSE) as a key driver of the transition from a growth-dependent, profit-driven economy to a human rights economy centred on well-being within planetary boundaries.
The brief details how #SSE entities – including #cooperatives, #mutualsocieties and #socialenterprises – contribute to #decentwork, care, more equitable #resourcedistribution, #workplaceparticipation and #genderequity, and #climateresilience. It identifies practical policy levers that governments, development partners and multilateral institutions can mobilise to support the #SSE and move beyond growth-centred models.
