Winning big for Just Transition at COP30 - a multi-stakeholder conversation.

Keeping justice at the heart of Just Transition requires the international community to support all peoples and countries in the journey towards a fossil-free, fairer, safer, cleaner and more peaceful future. This involves social dialogue with trade unions and stakeholder engagement with all affected groups. The different rights-based constituencies and civil society organisations will discuss what can be won for Just Transition at COP30 to deliver for real people in the real world.

Watch the Winning big for Just Transition at COP30 - a multistakeholder conversation!

Highlight the crucial role of international collaboration and solidarity in addressing social justice within the framework of multilateralism.

The Permanent Mission of the Kyrgyz Republic to the United Nations and the International Labour Organization (ILO) are pleased to convene the commemorative meeting of the 2024 World Day of Social Justice. In support of the Global Coalition for Social Justice, a ground-breaking initiative aimed at intensifying collective efforts to urgently address social justice deficits and accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Sustainable Development Goals and the Decent Work Agenda, the 2024 World Day of Social Justice commemorative event will highlight the crucial role of international collaboration and solidarity in addressing social justice within the framework of multilateralism. Moreover, it will be a timely opportunity to emphasize the prioritization of social justice at key intergovernmental milestones of the United Nations this year. This includes the Fourth International Conference on Small Island Developing States, the Third United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries, the Summit of the Future, as well as preparations for the World Social Summit.

Preventing and ending armed conflicts.

Peacebuilding between nations and social classes on the basis of social justice is the raison d’être of the International Labour Organization (ILO). The ILO was established in 1919 under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, which brought the First World War to an end. The establishment of the Organization was based on the conviction that universal and sustainable peace can only be brought about against a background of social justice.

Political treaties and disarmament pacts are essential conditions, but they are not in themselves sufficient to guarantee peace, not only between nations but also between social classes within countries. This is why there is a document underneath the first stone of the main ILO building in Geneva, in which it is written: “Si vis pacem, cole justitiam” - If you want peace, cultivate justice. These important events at the end of the First World War and the establishment of the ILO were also due to the pressure exerted by the trade union movement at its congresses held in 1916, 1917 and 1918, during which workers demanded to be allowed to take part in discussions on the future peace treaty so as to obtain guarantees of minimum working conditions and to establish a permanent body responsible for ensuring that international labour legislation was implemented. As a result of its involvement in support of the construction of global and sustainable peace, the ILO was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1969. Since that time, targeted initiatives have been put in place with the aim of applying the principles mentioned above as part of the Organization’s technical cooperation. In the United Nations Policy for Post-conflict Employment Creation, Income Generation and Reintegration, approved in 2008, it is stated that “an inclusive national dialogue including all stakeholders (social partners and beyond) will enhance ownership and programme effectiveness, thereby contributing to peacebuilding”.

Social dialogue is a powerful tool for ensuring that post-conflict economic growth and political and institutional reform are equitable and are achieved while fully respecting fundamental rights at work and social protection. Social dialogue can therefore make a contribution to social calming, to education for peace and to negotiation of the main economic and social questions, including ownership rights. ILO undertakes to build the capacities of the social partners so that they are able to play this important role in building sustainable peace and preventing conflicts. This training manual, which is intended for trade union organizations, is an initial contribution by the ILO in this respect.

"You don't dance?"

"Nope."

"Why?"

"... Are you asking because you feel socially obligated to or are you asking because you're genuinely curious?"

"Now because I am genuinely curious."

No, because I've already talked about this to the Discord besties but I'm still vibrating over the fact that Percy didn't just sacrifice himself for Annabeth, he outsmarted her. He tricked her into letting him be the one to stay behind that's such an amazing detail

yknow i wouldn't classify Max Caulfield as "shy" because she was very confrontational at every turn. she did not mind calling people out on their bullshit, and it literally did not matter who it was. and yes it is a video game but everything that you CAN do and that CAN happen is all canon. she can canonically do every single thing in the game, including being a dick

i've gotten less shy over the years but i still sweat thinking about any confrontation, and don't even get me started on impromptu calling someone out. or talking to people i'm not familiar with.

Max can throw paint on Victoria and then laugh in her face. she can show outward disdain for Courtney and Taylor to them directly. she can get up in David's face without caring of any consequences multiple times in the game.

Max Caulfield was not shy, she was quiet, and there is a difference despite what she describes herself as

[Video description: Sebastian Cossa, Yaroslav Askarov, and Matt Murray (b. 1998) stand in a circle. Cossa is in athletic wear, while Askarov and Murray wear suits. Murray is wearing Cossa's goalie glove and opens and closes it through the video.

Cossa: It's like -- it's like a 1x.

Murray, surprised: Really?

Cossa, chuckling: Yeah.

Murray: It feels good.

Askarov: It feels so good, so good, (inaudible).

Murray: That feels nice.

Askarov: it's so good.

Dan Watson, head coach of the Grand Rapids Griffins, comes up behind Askarov to look in on the huddle.

Watson: Goalie union? Goalie union talk?

Murray: Yeah!

Everyone smiles, video ends.]

New headcanon: Eddie did know Tommy was gay and clocked the date instantly but intentionally acted oblivious and later pretended to not even be aware about Tommy so he could give Buck the opportunity to come out entirely on his own terms.

The scene plays out from Buck’s perspective and so he (and therefore the audience) was too in his own head to notice that Eddie actually said “wait, Tommy’s gay” in the most dull surprise voice ever because Eddie is a terrible actor but a really good friend

The thing I love about "are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these?" is not just how it flows sonically, which is its own very Swiftian cadence that scratches a big itch in my brain, but how it really boils down this big existential argument into such a tight lyric.

Even without being explicit, you know that the narrator is talking about when they're going to... y'know... and how the subject keeps finding new ways to stall the conversation and the progression. You have one person who feels like, "What are we waiting for? There's never going to be a better time" and another who perhaps feels like maybe there will *never* be a better time. And therein lies the crux of the impasse at which they find themselves.

(How I Met Your Mother had its faults *ahem*, but this reminds me so much of the Ted-Robin Argentina argument from one of the early season finales iykwim.)

I just love when we get these little glimpses not only into Taylor's writing, but also like... the human experience in general. These big, complicated, heady arguments that are both pedestrian and life-changing in equal measure. How both parties see their side so clearly, but neither one fully seeing the other's in the same way.

Obviously there's a lot more to the song, but that one line is one I love so much for it, like how it just launches you into the middle of a scene but catches you up on everything in just a few words. (Very much like the opening line of You're Losing Me, for instance.) I love me some good storytelling!

one thing I absolutely love about tumblr that only exists here is the way many people unrestrainedly pour out their thoughts and reactions in the tags when otherwise they would hesitate writing it in regular comments on other platforms and I live for it. thank you everyone for liking my latest piece, it's been 162494 years since I drew anything FE3H related and I desperately needed this. it feels like I'm back home

"Global coalition for social justice: Bridging Gaps, Building Alliances."

Background and Global Challenges. As we face persistent global challenges – geopolitical instability, economic uncertainties, and the climate crisis – it's imperative to address longstanding challenges in our systems. These challenges exacerbate structural inequalities, pushing millions further behind. In 2023, labour markets showed surprising resilience despite economic downturns. Yet, recovery remains uneven, with new vulnerabilities eroding prospects for social justice. The need to bridge gaps and build alliances is therefore increasingly crucial. Moreover, labour market outlook and global unemployment will both worsen with an extra two million workers expected to be looking for jobs in 2024, raising the global unemployment rate from 5.1 per cent in 2023 to 5.2 per cent. As the ILO points out in its latest World Employment and Social Outlook report, as of 2023:  241 million workers lived in extreme poverty.  423 million workers lived in moderate poverty. These alarming numbers underscore the urgent need for concerted efforts to address the root causes of working poverty and boost economic opportunities globally. Around the world, as structural issues impair the creation of decent jobs:  Governments must strengthen domestic economies through initiatives to raise productivity growth and living standards.  Utilize international cooperation instruments to foster regional productivity initiatives.  Make better use of multilateral development funds and expedite support to the most fragile economies. This includes a whole-of-society approach to education and learning thus unlocking their transformational potential as a source for personal dignity and empowerment and a driving force for the advancement of social, economic, political, and cultural development. Additionally, it will be imperative to ensure responses from multiple policy levers spanning economic, social and environmental dimensions, particularly in tackling key transitions of jobs and social protection. As Member States negotiate key considerations for SIDS4, LLDC3, the Summit of the Future and World Social Summit, it is vital that we live up to the pledge of the Copenhagen Declaration to making the eradication of poverty, the goal of full employment and social justice overriding objectives of development. The 2024 World Day of Social Justice provides an opportunity to foster dialogue on actions needed to achieve social justice by strengthening the social contract that has been fractured by rising inequalities, conflicts and weakened institutions that are meant to uphold and protect the rights of workers. As we have passed the half-way milestone towards the achievement of the 2030 Agenda, we must redouble our efforts to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all by focusing on the four interrelated and interdependent dimensions of social justice: universal human rights and capabilities include, which include among others, access to an adequate standard of living, education, healthcare and social security; equal access to opportunities for employment and productive activity that enable people to pursue their material well-being in conditions of economic security; fair distribution outcomes including a just share of the benefits of economic growth, with attention to the most disadvantaged or vulnerable in society; and just transitions on the significant transformations affect people’s well-being over time, which include transformations associated with globalization, technological, demographic, environmental and other transformations, and compounding crises. By focusing on bridging gaps and building alliances in support of the Global Coalition for Social Justice, we can ensure the promise of enabling our societies and economies to function more cohesively and effectively; unlock the productive potential of countries and people; pave the way for sustained reductions in poverty and inequality – prerequisites for inclusive growth; and contribute to peace, stability and intergenerational solidarity.

Key Questions for Discussion:

In the context of SIDS4, LLDC3, and the Summit of the Future, what specific actions and policy initiatives can be proposed or enhanced to tackle structural inequalities that impede the achievement of the SDGs, including the decent work issues facing the people who are expected to deliver them?

How can social dialogue between governments, employers, and workers be central to recovery efforts and future economic policies, ensuring decent work and social justice remain priorities?

In the face of worsening global unemployment and increasing numbers of workers in poverty, what strategies and collaborative approaches should be taken to bridge gaps and create economic opportunities (that uplift workers globally)?

How can Member States strengthen their commitment to the Copenhagen Declaration's pledge during negotiations for SIDS4, LLDC3, the Summit of the Future, and the World Social Summit?

How can we reinforce the role international cooperation instruments, regional productivity initiatives, and multilateral development funds play in addressing structural issues that hinder the creation of decent and secure jobs globally, especially in the most fragile economies?

This has Definitely been said before, but Kabru is what happens when you try to understand why you dont fit in with other people, and as such you latched onto Social Tips (this bitch *still* looks at people's shoes to see if they like them) and as such, developed a lifelong Special Interest in psychology and sociology while you still somehow struggle to authentically connect with people.
