serious consequences
WEBINAR: CO-OPERATIVES AND MSMES AFTER COVID-19 FRIDAY, 8 MAY 2020
Fall-out of Pandemic:
❖ Close to $10 trillion dollars, around one-eight
of global GDP
❖ Skyrocketing unemployment everywhere
❖ Profound and pervasive impact on global mental
health – anguish, fear, pain, distress, loneliness
WEBINAR: CO-OPERATIVES AND MSMES AFTER COVID-19 FRIDAY, 8 MAY 2020
❖ Time for Wall Street devotees to think “beyondprofit” alone (no longer a case of “Benign Neglect”)
❖ Time to put human and nature-related impacts firmly onto their risk map
❖ Ensure the government stimulus can help define a new economic trajectory that is more sustainable.
❖ Stronger environmental measures to be structurally incorporated into the new post-COVID economic order.
