#SocialJustice is more than an ideal. It is the foundation of resilient and peaceful societies. Achieving it requires collective action across the full range of policy areas. On #SocialJusticeDay let's recommit to building a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

The new @ILO Observatory on Artificial Intelligence & Work in the Digital Economy aims to be the leading knowledge hub on the world of work dimensions of #AI. Its launch is timely and supports follow up to the Global Digital Compact, agreed this week at the Summit of the Future.

For too long economic demands have trumped social & environmental needs. A focus on #SocialJustice is required, with policies that provide for: ☑️equal access to opportunities ☑️a just & inclusive green transition ☑️the basics of a dignified life for everyone. #SocialJusticeDay

I warmly welcome the @ILO Governing Body's decision to establish the Global Coalition for #SocialJustice. There is a clear and urgent need for greater social justice that requires commitment from across the intl. community. Social dialogue will be at the heart of these efforts.

It's clear we need #ClimateActionNow. That action needs to ensure a #JustTransition that works for people & planet. This means access to #skills training, decent green jobs & social protection. #ILC2023 begins today and will discuss how to make it happen. #WorldEnvironmentDay

In statements to @IMFNews & @WorldBank Meetings, I called for coherent multilateral action to strengthen the social dimension of economic growth. #Socialjustice must be a cornerstone of renewed multilateralism to ensure societies & economies are cohesive, as well as productive.
