AT UN, WORLD LEADERS AGREE TO SCALE UP ACTIONS AGAINST POVERTY, SET
NEW DEVELOPMENT GOALSNew York, Sep 25 2013 1:00PMWorld leaders
meeting at United Nations Headquarters today agreed to take bolder
action against extreme poverty, hunger and disease, and called for a
summit to take place in 2015 to adopt the next set of anti-poverty
goals, which will heavily focus on achieving sustainable development.

During a special event on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs),
countries adopted an outcome document which acknowledges the progress
made since the eight global targets were set in 2000, while also
committing to do more to tackle many remaining challenges and
accelerate progress.

Countries also agreed to hold a high-level summit in September 2015 to
adopt a new set of goals that will balance the three elements of
sustainable development: providing economic transformation and
opportunity to lift people out of poverty, advancing social justice
and protecting the environment.

The President of the General Assembly, John Ashe, who convened the
event, <"http://www.un.org/en/ga/president/68/pdf/statements/09252013Opening%20of%20PGA%20Special%20Event%20on%20MDGs.pdf">stressed
that fulfilling existing commitments must be a priority for Member
States, as the new development agenda will build on the MDGs.

"As we prepare to begin work on the post-2015 development agenda, the
international community is embarking on a process with the potential
for global transformation. We are working towards a framework that
will address pressing global problems such as climate change and
biodiversity loss, conflicts, population demographics, inequality and
job insecurity," he said.

"This new agenda must not only tackle the unfinished business of the
MDGs, it must go further – leading to a great overhaul in how we
approach the planet and its people. On many levels, for many people,
the new agenda's composition will be a matter of survival."

At today's event, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon presented to countries
his report 'A Life of Dignity for All,' which outlines his vision for
bold action to achieve the MDGs and for a new and responsive
sustainable development framework that meets the needs of both people
and planet.

Mr. Ban <"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7125">said the
post-2015 framework "must be bold in ambition yet simple in design,
supported by a new partnership for development."

"It needs to be rights-based, with particular emphasis on women, young
people and marginalized groups. And it must protect the planet's
resources, emphasize sustainable consumption and production and
support action to address climate change," he said.

In addition to Mr. Ban's report, governments, civil society and the
private sector have all contributed recommendations for the future
development agenda. More than one million people also voiced their
concerns through the UN My World survey, and UN and partners engaged
in almost 100 national and thematic consultations worldwide so
citizens could contribute their ideas and perspectives to world
leaders.

On Monday, the high-level event, 'MDG Success: Accelerating Action and
Partnering for Impact,' showcased further commitments from countries,
the private sector and civil society organizations. The day-long
meeting generated some $2.5 billion in pledged funds towards boosting
MDG achievement.

Agreed by world leaders at a UN summit in 2000, the MDGs set specific
goals on poverty alleviation, education, gender equality, child and
maternal health, environmental stability, HIV/AIDS reduction, and a
global partnership for development.

The targets that have already been met include halving the number of
people living in extreme poverty and providing more than 2 billion
people with access to improved sources of drinking water. Countries
have also made great strides on health targets, and are within close
reach of achieving them by 2015 deadline. These include reducing the
mortality rates from malaria and tuberculosis and stopping HIV
infections.Sep 25 2013 1:00PM
