The Zero Draft of the Political Declaration for the Second World Summit for Social Development, to be held in Doha in November 2025, renews global commitment to the principles of the 1995 Copenhagen Declaration and Programme of Action. It underscores the urgency of tackling deep-rooted challenges such as poverty, unemployment, social exclusion, and inequality, which persist despite global progress in wealth, health, and education.

It also reaffirms the centrality of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda in driving transformative change.
