Show Notes
The power of enterprise, Danny Sriskandarajah, CEO Oxfam GB
Oxfam sees enterprise as a hugely powerful tool to tackle poverty, improve lives and livelihoods where it’s needed most.
CEO Danny Sriskandarajah notes how current levels of global consumerism are deeply unsustainable and that business as usual must change urgently so that resources are shared more fairly and to live safely within the planet’s boundaries.
Hear him explain the direct link between climate action and tackling poverty and hunger, both of which are on the rise as inequality rises in countries around the world.
