About this listen
By 2030, nearly 60% of the world's extreme poor will live in 39 specific economies. What do they have in common? They are all trapped in a vicious cycle of fragility and conflict. This episode breaks down the devastating human and economic costs, showing how high-intensity conflict can wipe out 20% of GDP and decimate the industrial sector. But the situation is not hopeless. We explore a blueprint for recovery built on three major untapped opportunities: a demographic dividend, green minerals, and tourism. Learn how a development-led solution can break the cycle and build a path to resilience. Generated with AI using wondercraft.ai and guided by our experts.
