During the conference, labor organizations expressed their concerns and desires for governments and employers' organizations, along with workers and the ILO, to promote sustainable economies that ensure fairness and inclusivity for all relevant stakeholders - workers, businesses, and communities. This can be achieved by creating decent job opportunities and not leaving anyone behind, contributing to the successful implementation of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and the Decent Work Agenda.
