UN News just tested a new way to cover big international meetings – by reporting straight from the conference floor. At the Second World Summit for Social Development in Doha, our team piloted a quick, digestible format designed to bring readers closer to the action – what’s actually being said, decided and debated in real time. Working side by side with the UN’s Meetings Coverage Section – the Press Officers who track every statement and shift in international debate – we distilled hours of discussions into sharp, end-of-day snapshots.  Each update breaks down where countries stand, where they agree (or don’t), and what’s next. Over three packed days of plenaries and high-level roundtables, delegates marked 30 years since the landmark 1995 Copenhagen Summit, reflecting on how far social development has come – and how far it still has to go.   Poverty reduction, decent jobs, social protection and inclusion topped the agenda, along with how climate impacts and rising debt ...

Abdullahi Ramat as the Chairman of the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).

The Second World Summit for Social Development opened in Doha on Tuesday with the adoption of the Doha Political Declaration – a consensus pledge to accelerate action on poverty eradication, decent work and social inclusion, and to put the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) back on track. Three decades after a landmark summit in Copenhagen, leaders in the Qatari capital warned that inequality remains high, climate shocks are intensifying, and nearly two billion people still lack social protection, pushing the world off course for the 2030 deadline. Renewed commitment The Doha Declaration renews and updates the 1995 Copenhagen commitments, calling for: •    Treating poverty eradication, decent work and social inclusion as interconnected priorities. •    Expanding universal, gender-responsive social protection, and equitable access to health and education. •    Advancing safe, inclusive digital transformation while countering disinformation and hate speech....

  Since 1990, the number of people using modern contraception methods has doubled globally but despite this, nearly 224 million women in mainly developing regions still do not use safe and effective family planning methods,   according to the   UN sexual and reproductive health agency, UNFPA The increased use reflects a major health success that has allowed millions of young people to avoid unintended pregnancy and exercise choice over their futures, but  UNFPA  said that “for far too many, the basic human right to choose whether to have children continues to be undermined.” ‘Contraceptives save lives’ The unavailability of contraception leads to a rise in unintended pregnancies and higher rates of maternal deaths resulting from unsafe abortions, according to UNFPA. The consequences extend far beyond health, contributing to increased adolescent pregnancies, school dropouts, and a heightened risk of gender-based violence. “Contraceptives save lives”, reiterated D...
