Towards the World Summit for Social Development : contributions from Asia and the Pacific
UNESCAP
2025.04.04
Asia and the Pacific is undergoing complex transformation including rising inequalities, a rapid demographic transition resulting in an ageing population and workforce, the need for care, and the climate crisis. There is an urgent need for policies in the region that can foster integrated, inclusive and people-centered approaches to economic and social development. General Assembly resolution 78/318 calls upon Regional Commissions to support the Second World Summit for Social Development which will convene from 4 to 6 November 2025. In this context, ESCAP coordinated a process in partnership with regional UN agencies to prepare regional inputs for the Summit through a multistakeholder consultation. The consultation was held as an associated event of the 12th Asia Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development to highlight social development priorities in Asia and the Pacific to ensure that voices of the region are reflected in the global discourse on sustainable and inclusive development in the lead-up to the Second World Summit for Social Development. This report features the challenges and gaps, opportunities and good practices and suggested actions as well as key takeaways obtained from the consultation.
