How is the UK driving a crisis in Global South living standards? | Forum 2029

Forum 2029 As public dissatisfaction with the current government deepens, the need for a coherent, credible alternative has become increasingly urgent. To meet this moment, a new initiative, Forum 2029, will this summer launch a major series of events aimed at developing a clear progressive policy platform focused on living standards and democratic renewal. Hosted by leading think tank the Autonomy Institute, Forum 2029 will bring together some of the UK’s leading politicians, activists, academics and campaigners from across the progressive spectrum. Together, they will chart the ideas and strategies needed for a transformative agenda fit for the challenges of the present - leading into the next general election. Panel description In a context of significant global inequality, UK policy plays a significant — and all-too-often overlooked — role in shaping the economic realities of the Global South. From debt structures and trade regimes to climate finance, decisions made in the UK reverberate across the world: it's never just 'domestic' living standards that are at stake. This online event will explore how UK domestic and international policy must change to support justice, equity, and sustainable development across the Global South. Our panel will interrogate the structural role of the UK in global inequality — from the City of London’s role in capital flows, to international tax rules, and climate reparations — and highlight the urgent reforms needed. Speakers: Alex Cobham (Tax Justice), Nick Dearden (Global Justice Now), Jerome Phelps (Debt Justice), Dr. Devika Dutt (King’s College London).
