Robin Burgess, Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), delivered a public talk on whether and how productive safety net programs could tackle the poverty trap and build climate resilience.
With over two decades of collaboration with BRAC and BIGD, Professor Burgess is also the Co-Founder and Director of the International Growth Centre (IGC), as well as the Director of the Economics of Environment and Energy Research Programme at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
The session delved into the transformative power of the ultra-poor graduation model, exploring how it strengthened social safety net programs to combat poverty and the adverse effects of climate change.
