Social Protection for all
UN Special Rapporteur on food, Olivier De Schutter, and UN Special Rapporteur on poverty Magdalena Sepulveda, just published a report and a proposal to introduce a basic social protection for all.
They launched a joint briefing note, calling for the creation of a Global Fund for Social Protection (GFSP). In the briefing they state that 2 per cent of the global GDP would be enough to provide all the world’s poor with basic social protection against the risk of unemployment, illness, disability, crop failure and soaring food costs.
