As the world recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic, rebuilding resilience and planning for the future have taken centre stage in 2022. The pandemic brought to the fore many human rights issues, creating new challenges and exacerbating existing systemic issues of global inequality and poverty. These issues have been amplified further following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the humanitarian and global supply chain crisis that followed. Whether in the domain of health, technology or climate change, businesses as well as governments are coming under increasing pressure to take further action. We are at the juncture of a fundamental shift and it is an important time to take stock and consider how the human rights agenda can shape the world for current and future generations.
