SUMMARY:ECOSOC Meeting on Care and Support Systems
DESCRIPTION:The NGO Committee on Ageing calls your attention to an upcoming event: \nECOSOC Meeting on Care and Support Systems \n19 July 2024\, 10am – 1pm\, \nECOSOC Chamber at the UNHQ \nFor more information about this meeting please refer to the following concept note: \n  \nPURPOSE: \nThis meeting will promote care and support systems from the foundational pillars of gender equality\, human rights\, and sustainable development. It will seek to articulate good practices\, lessons learned about the contribution of care and support systems to ensure the wellbeing and the rights of care recipients and caregivers through coherent and gender responsive policies. It will also seek pathways for implementation of this agenda based on the ongoing efforts by Member States\, the UN System\, and relevant stakeholders and to take concrete steps towards establishing care and support systems that are human rights-based\, gender-responsive\, disability-inclusive\, and age-sensitive. \nBACKGROUND \nThe Care agenda has built important momentum over the last year\, as the General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/77/317 titled “The International Day of Care and Support”\, and the Human Rights Council adopted resolution “Centrality of care and support from a human Rights Perspective”. The latest resolution adopted by the ECOSOC (E/RES/2024/4) urged Member States to “ensure the creation of enabling environments for promoting care and support systems for social development and implement all measures necessary to ensure the well-being and rights of care recipients and caregivers\, to recognize and redistribute care work among individuals\, as well as families\, communities\, the private sector and States\, and to contribute to the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.” \nCARE AND SUPPORT FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT \nCare and support systems are crucial to sustain societies\, and to foster economic prosperity. Sustainable Development cannot be achieved without robust and resilient care and support systems where no one is left behind. These systems are not only critical to addressing the undervaluing and gendered division of care work as a precondition for SDG 5 on gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls with benefits cutting across multiple SDGs\, including SDG 1 on Poverty\, SDG 3 on Good health and wellbeing\, SDG 4 on Quality education\, SDG 8 on Decent work and economic growth\, SDG 10 on Reduced inequalities\, SDG 11 on Sustainable cities and communities\, thus contributing to support just\, prosperous and sustainable economies. \nTHE HUMAN RIGHTS LENS OF CARE \nCare is central to meeting the physical\, psychological and emotional needs of care receivers and care providers\, thereby enhancing their rights\, dignity\, agency and wellbeing. This encompasses not only the rights of paid and unpaid care workers\, as enshrined in the human right treaties and various international labor standards\, but also the broader obligation to support all persons throughout their life cycle. Such care and support ensures that all people can live independently and within their communities. This is particularly crucial for upholding the dignity\, agency\, independence and autonomy of older persons\, persons with disabilities\, and persons with mental health conditions. It is also central to children’s development through the provision of sufficient\, safe and nutritious food\, to support healthy growth and development through stimulating environment and social interactions with attentive caregivers. \nCARE AND GENDER EQUALITY \nThe redistribution of the disproportionate responsibility of domestic and care work that women have historically faced is a matter of economic and social justice. Work that\, by the way\, remains invisible and undervalued in many parts of the world today. Official figures indicate this: according to the International Labor Organization (ILO)\, 16.4 billion hours a day are dedicated to unpaid care work\, which is equivalent to 11 trillion dollars or 9% of the world’s GDP. Furthermore\, the Gender Snapshot 2023 found that progress towards a fairer balance of unpaid care work has been slow and that globally women spend 2.8 more hours than men on unpaid care and domestic work. \nCARE AND THE FUTURE OF WORK \nIt is clear that more needs to be done to recognize\, reward\, and value paid care work and care workers as essential workers and adopt measures that combat gender stereotypes related to care and support\, as well as those related to\, inter alia\, race\, disability\, ethnicity\, age\, and migratory status\, to reduce occupational segregation for care work. It is also important to improve the working conditions and reduce precarious employment in paid care work. Working conditions for care workers should be improved and decent work for care workers should be promoted in accordance with international labor standards. In particular\, decent work contracts should be ensured for care and support workers in the informal and formal economy\, including migrant care and support care and support workers. Additionally\, it is key to account the value of informal care work and the need for recognition and support for unpaid family caregivers. \nADVANCING CARE AND SUPPORT SYSTEMS: THE INSTITUTIONAL OPPORTUNITY \nThis ECOSOC Special Meeting will provide a platform for member states\, UN Agencies\, and stakeholders to share best practices\, innovative policies\, and effective strategies that recognize and bolster care work as a fundamental component of social and economic development. To this end\, the UN system has mobilized efforts towards a UN Policy Paper on Transforming Care Systems in which aims to inform and harmonize UN Agency efforts on care by offering key definitions\, guiding principles\, approaches\, and policy options that can be contextualized to different socio-economic realities. It intends to amplify the impact of the UN System in advancing comprehensive care systems that enable gender equality\, well-being\, and social justice alongside sustainable development and economic transformation. \nOBJECTIVES \nIn accordance with draft resolution E/RES/2024/4\, the objective of the informal intergovernmental interactive dialogue is to: \n• Evaluate experiences\, good practices\, and main challenges concerning the promotion of and investment in care and support systems – Participants will discuss past experiences and existing practices in promoting and investing in care and support systems\, and will have an opportunity to react to the UN Policy Paper on Transforming Care Systems \n• Understand contributions of care and support systems to individuals\, families\, societies\, and economies – The discussion aims to deepen understanding of how care and support systems contribute to the well-being of individuals\, the resilience of families\, the cohesion of societies\, and the overall economic prosperity. \n• Consider caregivers’ and receivers’ roles\, and pathways to the care economy – Central to this dialogue is the recognition of the pivotal roles played by caregivers and receivers in care and support systems. \n• Discuss the potential of investing in the care and support systems to reduce women’s time and income poverty\, support women’s labor force participation\, and expand employment opportunities in the care sector. \nFORMAT \nThe meeting will be open to all delegations\, and will consist of a high-level opening\, an interactive panel discussion\, and a closing segment. The meeting will feature the participation of the President of the Economic and Social Council and high-level officials from the United Nations. Leaders from civil society\, private sector\, and other key partners also will be in attendance. \nPARTICIPATION \nDelegations are invited to share their valuable contributions by requesting the floor in the open discussion segment of each panel.

SUMMARY:5 Trillion USD as Year as Payment Towards Climate Debt
DESCRIPTION:CAMPAIGN LAUNCH JULY 25\n5 TRILLION AS PAYMENT TOWARDS THE CLIMATE DEBT!\nCALL to ACTION & COMMUNICATIONS PACK\nThe Global North has an incalculable climate debt owed to the Global South\, stemming from their huge share of responsibility for the cumulative historical and continuing greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting climate crisis.  This climate debt is part of a larger historical\, social\, economic\, and ecological debt owed to the Global South\, arising from centuries of colonial and post-colonial exploitation and oppression. \nOn July 25\, movements and civil society organizations will launch a Campaign demanding that Global North governments pay US$5 trillion a year in public funds as a downpayment on their Climate Debt.     \nThese governments claim they do not have enough public funds to deliver on their financial obligations towards the Global South but spend trillions in fossil fuel subsidies and military infrastructure and operations.  Instead of addressing tax abuses of huge multinational corporations that are global polluters and profiteers\,  they advance global tax deals favoring the rich. At a time when public funds are desperately needed for peoples’ needs and rights\, Global North governments refuse to respond to the clamor for the cancellation of public debts in the South which they\, together with their elites and corporations\,  bear the biggest responsibility for\, and instead promote failed\, flawed and futile debt reduction measures and offer more loans.    In recent years\, the unjust and inequitable global economic and financial architecture that they perpetuate – legacies of colonialism – caused an annual net resource transfer from the South to the North in the trillions. \nThis year is a pivotal year to raise our claims for payment for Climate Debt.  In the lead-up to and during COP 29 in Baku\, Azerbaijan\, Climate Finance will be a central issue in the international climate space.   for Climate Finance. These next months will offer crucial opportunities that will either propel us toward the radical transformation needed in our social\, economic\, and political systems or doom us to further climate chaos. Delay is no longer an option – we need to unite and increase pressure on all fronts to ensure decisive action. \nJoin us in Launching this Campaign through intensive and massive digital actions on July 25 and continuing on July 26. Our actions will coincide with the Heads of Delegation retreat happening in Baku from July 26 to 28. \nThe Campaign Launch will be followed by key moments in the next months when we will be holding globally coordinated mobilizations including a Global Week of Action in September during the period of the UNGA and the Summit of the Future. \n \nJULY 25 and 26\nONLINE ACTIONS: $5 TRILLION FOR CLIMATE DEBT\nOn July 25\, we aim to march  the launch of the $5 trillion campaign byposting the #PayUp materials on social media. The goal is to amplify the demand for a $5 trillion annual down payment for the climate debt owed by Global North governments to the people of the Global South. We emphasize that the full cost of what is owed is incalculable and the $5 trillion demand provides a realistic\, attainable figure in addressing the urgent\, escalating climate needs of the Global South. \nWhen: July 25 and 26 \nWhere: Facebook\, Twitter\, Instagram\, LinkedIn \nMain call: $5 trillion for climate debt now! \nHashtags: #PayUp #ClimateFinanceNow #TrillionsNotBillions \n \nDOWNLOAD LEAD $5TR MACRO HERE (in En\, Fr\, Es) \nLANGUAGES TO COME: Portuguese\, Hindi\, Arabic\, Russian\, Japanese\, Chinese (simplified) \nDOWNLOAD ADDITIONAL MESSAGING MACROS HERE (En\, Es\, Fr) \nFor the consideration of various CSO constituencies in the climate justice arena and of the wider social movements is the Climate Finance Escalations Campaign 2024 Background Paper.
