  • Poverty and inequality are not natural but results of policy choices in tax, labor, and public services.
  • Economic growth has failed to ensure shared prosperity and is ecologically unsustainable.
  • The 'roadmap for eradicating poverty beyond growth' proposes alternatives to GDP-focused models.
  • Key solutions include decent work, living wages, universal public services, and fair economic rules.
  • Global economic reforms are needed, addressing debt, climate finance, and international solidarity.
  • Involving those experiencing poverty in policy design is crucial for effective anti-poverty strategies.
  • Existing movements and coalitions worldwide offer foundations for building equitable economies.
  • Poverty can be dismantled through deliberate policy changes prioritizing rights and planetary boundaries.
