Good morning #Dhaka 🌞

Glad to be back to run workshops on responsible business conduct for academics, CSOs & trade unions. GIZ

I would like to thank UN Special Rapporteur on poverty and human rights for inviting me to share my thoughts at this event on 'eradicating poverty beyond growth': youtube.com/watch?v=wcY0lY… I highlight key problems with the current economic development, articulate an alternative model & outline 4 shifts. Feedback welcome

In my Geneva engagements, I had the pleasure of meeting UAE Ambassador Al Musharakh to discuss ways to mainstream the right to development & seek UAE support. Glad to know that the Ambassador mentioned about creating a podcast, an idea that the Academic Circle recently discussed!

Taking forward #RightToDevelopment !

Surya Deva met PR Arindam Bagchi and discussed ways to further strengthen India’s constructive engagement with the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Development mandate.
