In 2015, the global community agreed on 17 goals to improve everyone’s lives by 2030 and protect the planet.
Goal number 8, on sustainable economic growth and decent work for all, brings together social, economic and environmental goals.
These objectives must be addressed simultaneously if we are to achieve our collective goals.
A world with social justice for all, equitable growth, and a just transition to greener economies is possible.
It will take bold political leadership and the commitment of all countries.
Without this collective action, humanity risks being trapped in a cycle of crisis and conflict on a forever damaged planet.
The SDG Summit in September is a vital moment for the international community to give SDG 8 and the other 16 Goals the momentum they need.
The ILO is promoting key initiatives at the Summit, such as the Global Accelerator for Jobs and Social Protection for Just Transitions and the Global Coalition for Social Justice.
A better future is within our reach. We all have a role to play in shaping that future, and we must all rise to the challenge.
