Concept Note
Social Work Strategies to Support Decent Work to Overcome Inequality and Achieve the 2030 Agenda: Co-Building an Eco-Social World
IFSW's commitment to co-building transformative social protections, standing with workers to ensure collective worker rights, protections and decent pay in the context of jobs and industries that do no harm to the environment are central to our holistic human rights framework and our goals of co-building an eco-social world.
This event will focus on local and global approaches that IFSW and its partners use to support full and productive employment and decent work for all to overcome inequality and achieve the 2030 Agenda. Discussion will include strategies that center on a holistic human rights framework that encompasses human rights, cultural rights, ecosystem rights, and the broader rights of nature including workers' cooperatives and wastepickers’ role in recycling and organizing for occupational health.
Creating full and productive employment and decent work for all as a way of overcoming inequalities to accelerate the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
