Accelerating Social Progress

Thirty years after the landmark 1995 World Summit for Social Development in Copenhagen, the global community will gather once again — this time in Doha, Qatar, from 4 to 6 November 2025 — for the Second World Summit for Social Development. In a world facing growing inequalities, demographic shifts, and rapid technological change, the need for a renewed commitment to social progress has never been more urgent.

In Doha, world leaders will come together to redefine strategies for social progress, strengthen global partnerships, and promote inclusive policies that foster equitable opportunities for all. The goal: to build societies that are more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable.
