Towards social protection for all in the face of multiple global crises
WATCH THE REPLAY
The opening session will set the scene, providing an opportunity to take stock of progress and challenges to date and recall the role social protection played at the height of recent crises. Discussions will focus on how social protection can contribute to building resilience in the face of multiple and recurring crises, such as financial shocks or climate change.
The following guiding questions will be addressed in this session:
- Where does the world stand in relation to achieving the goal of providing access to social protection for all by 2030?
- What role does social protection play in enabling countries to cope with the effects of multiple global crises?
- What are the key lessons learned by Global South countries from the expansion of social protection during recent crises and how can they be supported in making this expansion permanent?

Global partnerships to support national agendas: Joining forces towards social protection for all
WATCH THE REPLAY
Increased cooperation between multilateral and national actors is urgently needed to drive progress towards the achievement of SDG.1.3*. Global initiatives aim to provide coherent and effective structures at the international level in order to ensure coordinated support for strengthening national social protection systems. Among these, the Digital Convergence Initiative, the Global Accelerator, and the Global Shield stand out. However, there is still some way to go to ensure more effective coordination between international stakeholders and stronger alignment with national agendas.
This session, which closes the Global Forum, will explore potential solutions to these challenges and will also summarize key discussions and outcomes from the previous sessions.
Guiding questions:
- How can global initiatives help accelerate the expansion of social protection and how can these be better linked to social protection systems at country level?
- What are the standout results from the Global Forum which participants will take forward and integrate into their work?
*SDG stands for to Sustainable Development Goals. to learn more, visit the un.org dedicated website.
