Key considerations for WSSD2
- The Global Accelerator offers a concrete action platform for the realization of the upcoming Fourth International Conference on Financing
for Development (FFD4) outcome document and the 2025 Second World Summit for Social Development (WSSD2) political declaration in
18 pathfinder countries. - It provides evidence of the importance of social investments for sustained economic growth and helps countries in bringing together policymakers and financiers to contribute to national road maps accelerating decent jobs, universal social protection and just transitions.
- It supports countries in developing concrete policy solutions and financing options to address the challenges of climate change, informality, demographic shifts and digitalization in tailor-made sustainable development opportunities at the national level.
- Based on strong high-level political commitments by pathfinder countries, this initiative at the
national level increases its impact through South–South cooperation, multilateral collaboration and evidence-based advocacy.
