Inequality, climate change and biodiversity loss are interrelated crises and symptoms of the need for profound systemic reform in the economic and social spheres. What is the role for citizen engagement, social movements and workers in configuring an inclusive ecological and social contract for SDG implementation? And what can be learned from the experiences of social movements working on the social and green agendas, including indigenous peoples’ rights, climate justice, gender justice, racial justice, and decent work?
The panellists discuss their visions of just and green implementation pathways not only for the SDGs but also for Covid-19 recovery, as well as the role of a new eco-social contract in achieving just, inclusive, sustainable and resilient economies.
