Annalena Baerbock, President of the eightieth session of the United Nations General Assembly, speaks during the closing press conference during the Second World Summit for Social Development.

The Second World Summit for Social Development is held in Doha, Qatar. Building on the 10 Commitments of the landmark 1995 World Summit for Social Development in Copenhagen and the Copenhagen Declaration, the Second World Summit aims to accelerate action on poverty eradication, the promotion of full employment and decent work, and social inclusion, ensuring that no one is left behind in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. It further aims to address persistent gaps, reaffirm global commitment to social development, and give new momentum to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
