On the Road to Doha: From HLPF 2025 to the Second World Summit for Social Development

As the 2025 HLPF undertakes in-depth reviews of SDGs 3 (health and well-being), 8 (decent work and economic growth), and 17 (partnerships for the Goals), the high-level side event explores how these reviews can help shape the ambition and substance of the upcoming Second World Summit for Social Development (WSSD2), to be held in Doha 4-6 November 2025.

The high-level side event serves as a critical bridge between global review and renewed commitment—highlighting the interlinkages between health, employment, and partnerships in advancing inclusive development, social justice, and SDG implementation.
