Agenda for Social Equity 2074
Integrating the Agenda for Social Equity 2074 with the Social Global Goals and other global Agendas
Care to Change the World
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – Agenda 2030
The Agenda for Social Equity 2050 complements the UN’s SDGs by addressing gaps within the social aspects of sustainable development. While the SDGs provide an extensive framework for sustainable development—covering economic, environmental, and social factors—the ASE 2050 brings a focused approach specifically to social equity, an area that can sometimes be overshadowed by economic or environmental goals.
By honing in on issues such as universal access to essential services, mental health, and social justice, ASE 2050 and the SGGs amplify the social dimensions of the SDGs, working in concert with SDGs like Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being), Goal 4 (Quality Education), and Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities). Together, they create a stronger foundation for inclusive development that values each individual’s potential.
African Union Agenda 2063
ASE 2050 and the SGGs share the African Union’s vision of a united, prosperous Africa as outlined in Agenda 2063. This alignment underscores a commitment to eradicating social inequality, enhancing quality education, supporting youth, and promoting sustainable economic opportunities across the continent.
The African Unity initiatives—African Unity 2063 Project Hub and African Unity Center of Excellence—embed the SGGs into practical applications for the African context. These initiatives collaborate with Agenda 2063’s focus on social and economic transformation by fostering regional integration, advancing public health, and nurturing Africa’s next generation of leaders. ASE 2050 thereby strengthens the social objectives of Agenda 2063, ensuring that Africa’s transformation is deeply rooted in social well-being.
European Green Deal
While the European Green Deal centers on achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, it also touches upon social equity, particularly in the realms of job creation, sustainable infrastructure, and community resilience. ASE 2050 complements this by addressing the social impacts of environmental transformation, such as job displacement, social support systems, and inclusive urban development.
With its SGGs that emphasize Decent Work, Social Justice, and Community Resilience, ASE 2050 supports the Green Deal’s vision for a “just transition.” By providing guidelines for social empowerment alongside environmental progress, ASE 2050 and the Green Deal together ensure that sustainability includes social justice as a central pillar.
Global Health Initiatives (e.g., WHO’s Universal Health Coverage 2030)
The World Health Organization’s Universal Health Coverage 2030 initiative is dedicated to making healthcare accessible and affordable for all. The SGGs reinforce this goal through a social lens, emphasizing Universal Access to Essential Services and Mental Health and Well-being for All. ASE 2050 works in tandem with these global health efforts by prioritizing health as an integral aspect of social equity, addressing both physical and mental health in a holistic manner.
Through these goals, ASE 2050 ensures that universal healthcare also encompasses social dimensions, such as reducing stigma around mental health and ensuring health access in marginalized communities.
UNESCO Education 2030
The SGGs and AfSE 2074’s dedication to Educational Equity and Lifelong Learning are aligned closely with UNESCO’s Education 2030 framework, which seeks to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” ASE 2050 further contributes by addressing social obstacles to education, such as access disparities, support for vulnerable learners, and community-based learning initiatives.
By integrating the SGGs with UNESCO’s education agenda, AfSE 2074 fosters a culture where educational attainment and personal growth are accessible, equitable, and culturally inclusive.
A Unified Approach to Sustainable Social Development
Agenda for Social Equity 2050 stands as a partner to these global frameworks, filling in essential social elements and ensuring that equitable access to opportunities, rights, and resources forms the bedrock of sustainable development. While existing agendas like the SDGs and Agenda 2063 lay the foundation for global progress, AfSE 2074 brings an added dimension that ensures social development receives dedicated attention and structured action.
Through partnerships and alignments with other global initiatives, AfSE 2074 and the Social Global Goals create a cohesive vision that amplifies and unifies the world’s collective efforts toward a future where everyone has a fair opportunity to thrive. This integrated approach not only maximizes impact but also ensures that social equity is acknowledged as vital in the fabric of sustainable development.
