The International Labor Organization (ILO) stated today that government, financial, and labor officials from around the world will convene at a multilateral summit to build a people-centered recovery from Covid-19.
The event, organized by the UN agency, will take place from February 22 to 24 and seeks to strengthen the coherence of the worldwide response to the pandemic's economic and social consequences.
Heads of state and government, international organizations, multilateral development banks, and employer and labor leaders will outline real steps that can help achieve this goal.
According to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who will speak there, this is an opportunity to progress toward a more effective multilateralism that "brings together existing institutional capacities, eliminating fragmentation to guarantee that everyone works together towards a single objective."
The measures and investments required to ensure an inclusive and people-centered recovery from the crisis in all nations will be among the themes to be explored.
Participants will prioritize more decent employment and inclusive economic development, universal social protection, worker care, corporate sustainability, and a just transition to a carbon-neutral global economy.
The International Labour Organization (ILO), the UN body for the world of labor, observed World Day of Social Justice 2022 on Friday with a plea to focus on post-Covid-19 recovery from social justice and the protection of the earth on which we all rely.
