👉  Our June Issue Campaign has just been released! This month we deep dive into how our members are addressing #SDG1 “No Poverty” and #SDG8 “Decent Work and Economic Growth,” with a specific eye on how members are leveraging new technologies (such as AI), digital skills development, closing the gender work gap, and creating new opportunities in this ever-changing landscape of technological change.

The very first Sustainable Development Goal is “No Poverty.” It’s so important that SDG 8 further expands to cover “Decent Work and Economic Growth"—key factors in pulling people out of poverty. Decent work is the cornerstone of a thriving society, ensuring dignity, security, and fulfillment for individuals, while driving economic prosperity. In the rapidly evolving landscape of the future of work, digital skills are becoming increasingly crucial to stay competitive and adaptable. They unlock new opportunities all over the world and enable access to remote work and flexible employment, promoting inclusivity and work-life balance. By investing in digital skills development, GlobalWA members are fostering sustainable growth and resilience in the face of technological change.
