At the recent United Nations Summit on the post-2015 development agenda, heads of state and government have adopted the new agenda that will orient the global efforts towards poverty eradication and sustainable development in the 21st century.
The new set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the result of a worldwide participatory process taking more than two years that has included the voices of civil society, the business community and academia.
Amina J. Mohammed will discuss the recent historic and unprecedented agreement by global heads of state and government to focus the post-2015 development agenda on poverty eradication and sustainable development.
