Volume II Bridging Vision to Action: From the Copenhagen Declaration of 1995 to the SDGs

The NGO Committee for Social Development has just launched: Bridging Vision to Action Volume II. Thirty years after the Copenhagen Declaration, the promises of social development remain unfinished. This new volume dives into today’s key UN and civil society documents, pertinently asking: Are we truly delivering on the commitments made in 1995? The publication above offers a fresh analysis of global efforts since 2024, civil society’s bold roadmap ahead of the Second World Summit for Social Development and calls to action on poverty, justice, care and inclusion. This publication is more than a review, it’s a demand for action. Get the facts, get involved and join the movement for social justice.
