UN Unveils New Roadmap for Eradicating Poverty Beyond Growth June 24th, 2026
This month, the UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights officially presented a landmark blueprint to the UN Human Rights Council: “Roadmap for Eradicating Poverty Beyond Growth.”
The new report calls for a fresh approach to ending extreme poverty—one that prioritizes human dignity, economic justice, and environmental sustainability.
The Roadmap for Eradicating Poverty Beyond Growth argues that reducing poverty requires more than increasing economic output. It highlights the need for policies that ensure basic economic security, strengthen care systems, create meaningful work, and address growing inequality.
At OMI JPIC, our commitment to human dignity reminds us that every person deserves access to the resources and opportunities needed to flourish. We invite you to learn more about this important initiative and the actions being proposed to help create a more just world.

The Season of Advent offers us a time to prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ, the Prince of Peace. This Advent, we invite you to reflect on what it would look like to build a culture of peace – a journey that begins with peace in our hearts and leads to peace in our local communities, nation, and world.
In our work we understand peace as not merely the absence of war or violence, but the presence of just social systems and right relationships between different members of society.
This guide includes reflection on the weekly Scripture readings during Advent, as well as prayers and examples of Maryknoll missioner experiences and suggested steps for “faith in action.” We hope this guide helps individuals and communities reflect on how they can welcome the Prince of Peace this Advent.
