Session Abstract

This closing plenary will critically examine the shortcomings of current macroeconomic models in addressing today’s fundamental challenges and explore alternative, human-centered approaches to growth and development. It calls for a paradigm shift away from GDP-focused frameworks towards models that prioritize sustainability, equity and decent employment opportunities.

Bringing together leading thinkers, this plenary will explore the principles underpinning global macroeconomic policy and chart pathways toward a more just and resilient future.
