Leaders in Doha Call for Action Amid Global Crises

On 3 November 2025, as global challenges escalate, governments, civil society, and international partners gathered in Doha to discuss practical solutions for advancing social development and tackling urgent crises. These include rising hunger and poverty, increasing inequality, and climate-related instability.

Doha Solutions Forum and Global Alliance Convening

The discussions took place during the Doha Solutions Forum for Social Development and the inaugural leaders’ meeting of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, both held alongside the Second World Summit for Social Development.

Opening Remarks by President of the UN General Assembly

“Too often we face situations where we have no clear solution, no answer to the suffering we see, and it is heartbreaking,” said Annalena Baerbock, President of the UN General Assembly. “Or we have the solution [but] we are either unable or unwilling to do what needs to be done, which is frustrating.”
“Today is different: we are here to avoid falling into those traps, to learn from each other; to benefit from good ideas; to join forces; and to live up to our common principles.”
Focus on Moving Beyond Promises

The event emphasized shifting from merely acknowledging these global problems to taking concrete actions based on proven methods.

The collaborative forum aimed to strengthen efforts by sharing knowledge, fostering partnerships, and committing to collective responsibility for social progress.
