As climate challenges grow more urgent, so does the need for global collaboration. The 62nd Session of the UN Commission for Social Development (SB62), held under the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), plays a crucial role in connecting social policies with sustainability goals. At EarthWarriorz.org, we believe young people should understand why conferences like SB62 matter — and how they can engage.
🏛 What Is SB62?
SB62 is the 62nd session of the Commission for Social Development (CSocD) — a key body under ECOSOC responsible for advising on social policies that promote development and equity. This year, the central theme was:
It brings together UN Member States, civil society, youth leaders, and NGOs from around the world.
🌱 Why SB62 Is Important for Climate and Sustainability
- Puts Social Justice at the Heart of Sustainability
SB62 emphasizes that climate justice and social justice are deeply connected. From indigenous rights to equitable access to clean water and education — sustainability must be inclusive. - Accelerates the SDGs
The session directly supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:- SDG 1: No Poverty
- SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities
- SDG 13: Climate Action
- SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
- A Platform for Youth and Civil Society Voices
NGOs like EarthWarriorz and youth delegates are increasingly being invited to contribute. Voices from the Global South are essential to shaping inclusive, localized policies. - Guides Global Social Policy
SB62 outcomes influence how governments create and reform social safety nets, gender equity programs, and green job strategies — all vital for a sustainable future.
