Scheduled
Doha
Inaugural Forum of the Global Coalition for Social Justice

Partners of the Global Coalition for Social Justice will present tangible results and new commitments advancing social justice at a Special Event co-convened by the State of Qatar, the Federative Republic of Brazil, the Swiss Confederation and the International Labour Organization (ILO), and during the Second World Summit for Social Development (WSSD2).

The high-level Global Coalition for Social Justice Forum will convene Heads of State and Government, social partners and senior officials from Coalition partner organizations to showcase and accelerate national and collective efforts to implement the Doha’s Political Declaration on Social Development. The Forum will also underline the role of the Coalition as a platform for mobilizing coordinated, multi-stakeholder action that places decent work and social justice at the core of sustainable development.

Chaired by the ILO Director General, this high-level event will feature high-level addresses, a panel discussion bringing together leaders from governments and social partners to explore how collective engagement drives meaningful impact, and spotlight sessions showcasing partners’ contributions under the Coalition’s key interventions - highlighting concrete initiatives, partnerships, and policy pathways to deliver on the commitments of the Political Declaration
