The Structural Roots of Poverty: Theory Meets Practice
CONFERENCE: This conference will bring together academic, advocacy, and policy communities to address the structural roots of global poverty relating to illicit financial flows and tax policy, the post-2015 development agenda, climate change, and global health.

Followed the second day by discussion of priorities for development after 2015, when the Millennium Development Goals will expire. Speakers will be encouraged to focus on the themes of governance and global institutional reform, inclusive participatory consultation, and merging the environmental sustainability and poverty alleviation agendas. The final day will be broken into two sessions, one focusing on climate change and global poverty, and the other on international cooperation for innovation in health care.
