In a world riven by geopolitical tensions, and with our common future hanging in the balance, it is urgent that our societies aim for a strong and sustained dose of social justice if we are to meet the Sustainable Development Goals we have set for ourselves. Harnessing the diversity of actors hosted in Geneva for crosscutting responses to advance social justice is crucial and the Geneva ecosystem has the ability and responsibility to take courageous action.  The panel discussion will explore the role International Geneva has to play in the quest for social justice.

The event is organized by the Geneva Graduate Institute in partnership with the TASC Platform and in support of the launch of the Global Coalition for Social Justice, a ground-breaking initiative led by the International Labour Organization.
