November 4 - November 6
The World Social Summit 2025, officially titled the Second World Summit for Social Development (WSSD2), is a significant global event aimed at fostering inclusive social development and addressing key challenges to achieve well-being for all. It serves as a platform for governments, civil society organizations, private sector actors, and other stakeholders to collaborate on creating policies and strategies that promote inclusivity, equity, and sustainability.
The Summit builds on the legacy of the 1995 World Summit for Social Development in Copenhagen, which emphasized commitments to social inclusion, eradicating poverty, and achieving full productive employment and decent work, aligning with modern challenges and aspirations for inclusive well-being for all.
The Summit will take place from 4 to 6 November 2025 in Doha, Qatar at the level of Heads of State or Government. Its primary objective is to advance social development globally and provide renewed momentum for implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
