Thomas Pogge on Inequality, Innovation, and the Future of Human Rights
Thomas Pogge: How can we structure a global order that is fairer, more equitable, and truly responsive to human suffering? Pogge has championed "impact rewards" proposals like the Health and Ecological Impact Funds that would incentivize pharmaceutical and environmental breakthroughs based on real-world benefit rather than market exclusivity.
These alternatives, he contends, could reduce costs, improve health outcomes, and strengthen local capacities in low- and middle-income countries.
