Co-building an Eco-Social World for Sustainable Development - UN HLPF Side Event

Join the International Federation of Social Workers and esteemed speakers for presentations and conversation that will highlight the importance of a robust universal social protection system to help mitigate risks for child labor and unpaid workforce, the growing disparities and loss of social connections due to COVID 19 that impact health and mental health, and how citizens, communities, inclusive coalitions, and professionals can co-build partnerships that ensure multidimensional policies and services that align with human rights and further the goals of the SDGs.

This side-event is convened to further support for The People’s Charter for an Eco-Social World, a commitment from civil society, NGOs, and governance that promotes community centered policy and practice that is respectful of the social, environmental, and cultural context of communities, organizations, and allied professionals.

Participants will want to be sure to have the most current version of ‘zoom’ to participate in the side-event on Tuesday July 11, 2023.
