"30 years after the Copenhagen Summit, we owe it to the world to show ambition for accelerating our common work on the SDGs and more specifically on the social aspect of the SDGs. The first World Summit for Social Development was a real milestone in the multilateral system. It was a global commitment to social development that still resonates today."

"As we are shaping the path towards the summit, let's make of this intergovernmental process a turning point, a moment when we transform values and principles into innovative action that uh tackle the challenges of today.  The summit shall be also a vehicle to create an environment for building trust, give momentum to the implementation of 2030 agenda, promote innovative solutions and inclusive international cooperation."

"As we look to the future, the Summit of the Future has underscored the aspirations, hopes, and commitments required to build a better future for both present and future generations. This momentum provides a critical foundation for the upcoming Second World Summit for Social Development, where we will continue to strengthen our collective resolve in addressing the most pressing social development challenges of our time."

"The Second World Summit for Social Development in November will be a key moment to demonstrate what we have learned, assess the gaps, promote human dignity, and offer bold solutions that ensure socially equitable outcomes for future generations."
 

“This would be an opportunity to hold a different form of global deliberation and to live up to the values, including trust and listening, that underpin the social contract. The Summit outcome could be an update of the 1995 Copenhagen Declaration on Social Development, covering issues such as universal social protection floors, including universal health coverage, adequate housing, education for all and decent work, and give momentum towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.” 

"Some Member States have expressed a legitimate concern about creating new Agendas in the current context, when the task of realizing the SDGs and the Copenhagen commitments is not yet done. This is not the time to change course. Rather, the Social Summit is an opportunity to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the programme of action of the first World Summit for Social Development, five years ahead of 2030."

"It is an opportunity after 30 years to build momentum, to reaffirm our commitment to the Copenhagen plan of action and as well to use it as an opportunity to generate momentum to adopt a new outcome that will galvanize the achievement of the 2030 agenda and as well the uh pact of the future and as well to ensure that social development is at the heart of our global agenda. It is very important that the Doha summit delivers a result driven summit."
