Tehran – World Day of Social Justice, observed on February 20th each year, is the integral of social justice in global efforts to tackle inequality, promote peace and achieve sustainable development. It emphasizes importance.
According to the UN website, the day focuses on strengthening the fair transition to a sustainable future this year, with the transition to a low-carbon economy for everyone, especially the most vulnerable. It focuses on ensuring that it brings benefits.
The day, hosted by the United Nations in 2007, promotes equal access to education, employment, healthcare and many more, regardless of race, religion, sexuality, gender, or class.
We need a holistic approach that weaves environmental sustainability with social justice and ensures that workers, Indigenous peoples and marginalized communities receive the necessary support.
In other words, decarbonisation and economic change must work together with policies that fight poverty, reduce inequality, and open opportunities for all.
At the heart of this vision is the idea of integrating the “transition” principle into both global and national policies. If these principles are embedded in the sustainable development agenda (such as those discussed at the Second World Summit for Social Development (WSSD2)), then the fairness of the cost of change is shared fairly.

Ultimately, strengthening a fair transition is reimagining the economic and environmental system to prioritize people as much as the planet. This is a call to shift the focus from simply decarbonisation to reallocating opportunities and resources, so that sustainable growth benefits everyone.
Through collective action and inclusive policy, environmental integrity and social equity can be closely linked to create a future that forms the foundation of a truly sustainable global economy.
