Reducing global inequality: how can we achieve a fairer world? Professor Sonia Bhalotra joins British Academy panel debate

Professor Sonia Bhalotra will join a prestigious panel of experts for an event to be part of the British Academy Debates on Inequalities on 29 November at the Royal Society in London.

The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals consist of 17 objectives which aim to transform the world for the better by 2030. Closely interlinked, these goals pledge to tackle a range of issues-from reducing inequality within and among countries to achieving gender equality. How do nations realise this vision of a shared future with equality and opportunities for all? An expert panel will discuss their priorities and hopes for the years ahead.

Chaired by:
Eliza Anyangwe FRSA Freelance writer and moderator, founder of The Nzinga Effect
