Thirty years after the first World Summit for Social Development in Copenhagen, the second World Social Summit in Doha will bring together global leaders to redefine how we think about progress, equity, and cooperation.

In this episode of the Future of Work podcast, Claire Courteille-Mulder, Senior Adviser in the ILO’s Partnerships department, discusses why this Summit comes at such a critical moment, what it means for global cooperation and social development, and how the ILO, through its mandate to promote social justice and decent work, is helping to shape the conversation and drive real action.
