Social and Solidarity Economy highlighted as an alternative model of growth in the UN Secretary General’s Report on “Socially just transition towards sustainable development: the role of digital technologies on social development and well-being of all”
The report was released for the upcoming Fifty-ninth session of the Commission for Social Development on the topic.

By adopting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Member States committed to achieving sustainable development for all nations and people in all segments of society. The Agenda is based on the ideals of inclusiveness and shared prosperity and Member States pledged to leave no one behind and to endeavour to reach the furthest behind first. With 10 years remaining to achieve the 2030 Agenda, addressing the inter-linkages between social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development will require pursuing a socially just transition that is people-centred and grounded in the principles of social justice.


The discussion on the priority theme will be held during the Fifty-ninth session of the Commission for Social Development (CSocD59) which takes place from 8–17 February 2021.
