Speakers:

The current crisis is expected to have a far-reaching and long-term humanitarian and socioeconomic impact. However, we have the opportunity to rethink and reformulate norms and policies for a social and economic recovery with a human rights-based approach to build a greener, healthier and more equitable world that leaves no one behind.

With the aim of facilitating a debate on these issues and making proposals for development cooperation policies to strengthen international cooperation, the Government of Catalonia, through the Directorate General for Development Cooperation, is organizing this webinar.
