We speak to the UN Special Rapporteur on Poverty and Human Rights Olivier de Schutter. He discusses why Coronavirus is an opportunity for governments to wake up to their responsibilities on poverty alleviation, why a major opportunity has been missed to force corporations to pay fair wages and tackle the climate crisis with green investment, why extreme poverty is likely to rise most in developing countries, criticism his predecessor Philip Alston received from the U.K. government on his report on poverty in the U.K. and much more!
