Human Rights Roadmap Signed by Pavlina Tcherneva Featured in the Guardian and Le Monde
Pavlina Tcherneva, president of the Levy Economics Institute at Bard College.
Professor of Economics and President of the Levy Economics Institute Pavlina Tcherneva was a signatory on a New Economies for Eradicating Poverty roadmap to “eradicating poverty beyond growth,” with the goal of identifying and popularizing economic alternatives that would reduce inequality without focusing on GDP. Developed with over 400 economists, trade unions, and grassroots movements, the roadmap, which was adopted at the International Labor Organization in April, outlines policy measures that countries can take to ensure economic and environmental sustainability for all. The report is based in part on a 2023 UN report on the Job Guarantee, on which Tcherneva consulted.
Several economists who are signatories wrote an op-ed for the Guardian that the current economic landscape is precarious and environmentally destructive. “Poverty is manufactured,” they write. “We are putting concrete options on the table [that] spell out evidence, implementation steps and real‑world examples. We call on political leaders at all levels to use them, to listen to those most affected.”
