Post-2015 Development Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals: Perspectives of the South Centre

South Centre presents its view on the Post-2015 Development Agenda and Sustainable Development.

The United Nations’ Post-2015 Development Agenda should not simply extend MDGs, or reformulate the goals, but focus instead on global systemic reforms to remove main impediments to development and secure an accommodating international environment for sustainable development.  This is a big, ambitious agenda which cannot be acted on overnight. An action plan for systemic reforms could be supplemented, but not substituted, by specific goals in some areas of economic and social development.

SDGs: Overall Conceptual Framework; Poverty Eradication; Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture; Full Employment As A Top Priority Goal and the MDGs beyond 2015 and Development-led Globalization Requires De-colonizing the MDGs.
