This event will reflect on the importance of focusing on the reduction of inequality and building together equitable and sustainable trajectories in the context of the Covid-19 recovery. The discussions will address the necessity of designing development strategies that both guard against the dramatic consequences of environmental change and ensure equitable access to opportunities. The reflections carried out in the framework of the UE-AFD Research Facility on Inequalities  will serve as the basis for the panel's discussion.
