World Leaders in Doha Unite for Just and Inclusive Societies
Doha, Qatar, 4 November 2025 – Amid growing global tensions and widening inequality, world leaders at the Second World Summit for Social Development endorsed the Doha Political Declaration, reaffirming a collective pledge to foster fairer and more inclusive societies.
The declaration embodies a joint promise by governments to combat poverty, generate decent employment, advance equality, and protect human rights. Participants emphasized that social development is both a moral duty and a foundation for peace, stability, and sustainable progress.
“True development isn’t about prosperity for the few,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres. “It’s about opportunities for the many, grounded in social justice, full employment, and human dignity.”
Guterres described the Doha Political Declaration as “a booster shot for development” and “a people’s plan,” outlining four urgent priorities:
- Accelerate efforts to eliminate poverty and inequality through stronger social systems.
- Create decent jobs by expanding skills, inclusion, and equal opportunity.
- Mobilize financing for developing nations by reforming global financial frameworks and easing debt burdens.
- Ensure no one is left behind by empowering groups at risk of marginalization.
