Hans Rosling
Don’t Panic – How to End Poverty in 15 Years
BBC, 2015
Aperçu
The United Nations’ primary goal is to eradicate extreme poverty by 2030. This target may sound ambitious, but it is within reach.
Recommendation
In this hopeful presentation, statistician Hans Rosling aims to “edutain” on the grave topic of eradicating extreme poverty. Rosling delivers a visually stimulating lecture, which, at times, comes across as overly simplistic and frivolous. His message, nonetheless, is a vital one: Humanity can eradicate extreme poverty within a generation. getAbstract recommends Rosling’s engaging briefing to high school students who want to broaden their minds about the world, to students of development studies and to anyone with an interest in reducing global inequality.
