The global economy is at a crossroads. Rising poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation threaten decades of progress, especially in vulnerable regions.
Key insights from the report:
- Over 3 billion people could remain in poverty by 2050
- 95% of extreme poor projected to live in low- and middle-income countries
- Industrialization is crucial for reducing poverty, ensuring food security, and driving green innovation
- Five megatrends: Green transition, digitalization, demographic shifts, Global Value Chain (GVC) reconfiguration, and food system transformation
A clean and just industrial transformation is only possible through global solidarity and coordinated action.
