- The conference addresses how diverse inequalities can be understood, challenged and engaged in a post-COVID-19 light. From various perspectives, six parallel sessions probe this issue and its impact on the 2030 agenda. Approaching this from diverse perspectives, six commentators will bring the main conclusions and key points into a joint debate following these sessions. Such a panel debate will revolve around two questions:
- What are the three most important recommendations for policy development and reform addressing global post-COVID-19 inequalities?
- Drawing on the parallel sessions, which critical re-thinking and re-formulation of the SDGs needs to be undertaken in order to understand and tackle changing forms of inequality post-COVID-19?
