This Summit marks a pivotal moment in global discussions on social inclusion, economic equality and sustainable development. As preparations for the Summit gather momentum, it is crucial to engage policy-makers, social partners, civil society representatives and other key stakeholders to ensure a well-informed, inclusive and effective European contribution to the discussions.
