Getting Growth Right: a vision for global prosperity in the next decade
Organised by the International Growth Centre at the London School of Economics, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, and Business Fights Poverty, this official companion session to the FCDO Global Partnership Conference explores what it means to “get growth right” amid geopolitical fragmentation, AI, climate risk and demographic change.
Building on the Beyond GDP agenda, it examines how growth metrics must evolve to support shared wellbeing, sustainability and resilience within planetary and social boundaries.
Panellists from government, industry, academia and multilateral organisations discussed implications for policy, business and supply chains, and how countries can adopt credible, politically viable growth models.
