Session 5: Eliminating the Unacceptable Social Ills of the 21st Century Poverty and Equity
Moderator: Lord Martin Rees of Ludlow, Member, UK’s House of Lords and the UK’s Astronomer Royal, and Former President of the Royal Society

Deep inequalities exist in different societies, for example, food poverty, inequality in health and education access, energy poverty, and the additional, often unexpected threats that are borne by those in society most vulnerable to disease and natural disasters.

This panel challenges current thinking on what defines poverty and equity, what opportunities genuinely exist for alleviating poverty and, drawing on the tools of systems analysis, what new, visionary ideas can be offered to regional, national and international bodies to help avert further poverty and build resilience in the communities that are most at risk.
