Welcome to the United Nations
The 2025 World Day of Social Justice, convened by the Permanent Mission of the Kyrgyz Republic to the United Nations and the International Labour Organization (ILO), in collaboration with the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), will focus on “Strengthening a Just Transition for a Sustainable Future.” This year's event takes on special significance as the world prepares for the Second World Summit for Social Development (WSSD2).
As the global community faces unprecedented challenges from climate change, economic transitions, and social inequalities, the event will explore how inclusive policies can ensure that climate action leads to more and better jobs, reduces inequalities, and fosters sustainable development.
Key topics for discussion include:
- The role of macroeconomic policies and trade frameworks in ensuring inclusive economic growth, climate resilience, and social justice.
- Strategies for an equitable transition to a low-carbon, job-rich economy, particularly in sectors such as renewable energy, critical minerals, and green infrastructure.
- Innovative financing mechanisms to support low-income and climate-vulnerable countries in transitioning to sustainable economies.
- The importance of social protection systems, education, and skills development in preparing workers for the emerging green economy.
The event will also emphasize multi-stakeholder collaboration, leveraging the Global Coalition for Social Justice to align the efforts of governments, businesses, trade unions, and civil society.
Join the conversation on 20 February 2025 to explore actionable solutions that advance social justice and build a sustainable future for all.
