Yvon will present an inspiring reflection on over 25 years of activism, advocacy, and international networking, culminating in the landmark adoption of UN Resolution 77/281, which recognizes the importance of the Social and Solidarity Economy for Sustainable Development.
“We are only at the beginning of a worldwide process to build an economy by and for people—not for capital… Today, we face a new era: a globalized economy, treated as a single market, dominated by capital. This is why we must globalize solidarity. After all, there is only one humanity and one planet.” — Yvon Poirier.
