And we know that current levels of inequity are the seedbeds of future conflict.. Progress towards greater equity becomes more urgent than ever,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ryder cited both the growing divergence between industrialized and developing countries and growing inequality within countries, in particular on gender. He called for specific action to improve gender equity, including making it an explicit public policy goal, a better funded and more equitable care economy, progress on equal pay and work-related gender discrimination, and the extension of universal social protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The closing G7 Communiqu\u00e9 highlighted the importance of upholding human rights and the ILO\u2019s international labour standards throughout global supply chains, as well as tackling forced labour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ILO welcomed the Leaders\u2019 commitment to accelerate progress towards universal social protection for all by 2030, in line with the UN Secretary-General\u2019s \u201cGlobal Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection for a Just Transition \u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the Leaders voiced support for the ILO Tripartite Declaration of Principles concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy&nbsp; (the MNE Declaration) and endorsed the G7 Roadmap towards Safe and Healthy Work in a Green Economy (agreed by the G7 Labour Ministers at their meeting in May 2022). They reaffirmed their commitment to better occupational safety and health along global supply chains, including through support for the Vision Zero Fund, a multistakeholder initiative to advance jointly towards zero severe and fatal work-related accidents, injuries and diseases in global supply chains. They also emphasized the importance of close cooperation with the social partners (employers\u2019 and workers\u2019 organizations).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Summit established a standing Employment Working Group within the G7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The G7 Leaders were meeting in Elmau , Germany, from 26-28 June 2022, under the German G7 Presidency.
