Why we need a new eco-social contract – a conversation with Paul Ladd

Why we need a new eco-social contract – a conversation with Paul Ladd In this episode we discuss with Paul Ladd, Director of the UN Research Institute on Social Development, about the contribution of the Institute to multilateralism at this 60-year milestone since UNRISD's establishment. In particular, we take a deep dive into the latest report, "Crises of Inequality", which shows why, in order to break the cycle of multiple, interlocking crises and to address inequality, we need a new eco-social contract. Paul Ladd tells us about how UNRISD's research has, in many instances, been ahead of the curve leading to positive impact. He explains in depth key themes in the recent UNRISD flagship report and gives us clear pointers to ways in which multilateralism must evolve.
