Homes not assets: the case for housing first

Leilani Farha—former UN special rapporteur on the right to adequate housing and global director of THE SHIFT—joins us in this episode for a timely and thought-provoking conversation on housing as a human right. Farha describes housing as a “springboard” to nearly every other human right, emphasizing that without a safe and secure home, it is nearly impossible to live a full and dignified life. She argues that meaningfully enforcing the right to housing is key to confronting the deepening global housing crisis. Building on this foundation, our conversation turns to the structural forces shaping today’s housing landscape—from the financialization of housing markets to the systemic roots of homelessness. Rather than viewing homelessness as an individual shortcoming, we examine it as a policy failure embedded in broader economic systems. We also discuss the role of corporate actors, and why greater accountability, while not a silver bullet, could be a powerful step toward creating fairer and more sustainable housing systems.

From ‘Lost Decades’ to Human Rights Economies: Rethinking Development from Sri Lanka’s Experience

We welcome Dr. Ahilan Kadirgamar—a leading Sri Lankan economist and Senior Lecturer at the University of Jaffna, examines Sri Lanka’s so-called “lost decade,” marked by a shrinking economy, rising debt burdens, widespread food shortages, and skyrocketing inflation. He traces how misguided economic and development policies compounded over time to erode what was once a relatively prosperous economy. While rooted in Sri Lanka’s experience, his analysis resonates far beyond one country, offering insights into the structural pressures shaping economic development across many countries. Dr. Kadirgamar makes the case for a Human Rights Economy grounded in collective action,participation and democratic economic policymaking, calling systems designed to improve people’s lives rather than maximize profits.

Advancing a Rights-based Just Transition in South Africa

For the third episode of the Economies that work - for all, we welcome Dorah Modise, Executive Director of the Presidential Climate Commission of South Africa. The episode explores South Africa’s efforts on just transition, examining plans to move toward a low-carbon economy and the government’s strategy for developing the country’s significant critical minerals sector, all within a framework that places human rights at the centre of the transition.  The conversation highlights the country's transformative policy approaches, including the decentralization of power supply and a growing reliance on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. Together, these efforts seek to ensure that the transition not only reduces emissions but also avoids deepening energy poverty or creating new inequalities—delivering benefits that are both equitable and far-reaching. The episode further provides an inside perspective on the complexities of steering a national energy transition, as policymakers gather support from government and industry, and ensure that workers, Indigenous peoples and affected communities have their rights respected.
