The High
Level Panel on the Post-2015 Development Agenda has released “A New
Global Partnership: Eradicate Poverty and Transform Economies through
Sustainable Development,” which calls upon the world to rally around a new Global
Partnership that offers hope and a role to every person in the world.
The Panel
was established by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and co-chaired
by Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Liberian President Ellen
Johnson Sirleaf and United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron.
The report sets out a universal agenda to eradicate extreme poverty from the face of the earth by 2030- through 12 illustrative goals and 54 targets- and deliver on the promise of sustainable development.
The
overarching goals include ending extreme poverty for good, making sure everyone
has access to food and water, promoting good government and boosting jobs and
growth.
The
individual targets include promoting free speech and the rule of law, ending child
marriage, protecting property rights, encouraging entrepreneurship and
educating all children to at least primary school level.

Priorities were cleared by the Panel after a series of consultations
during 8 months, with NGOs, citizens and different stakeholders
around the world:
- Leave no one behind. We must keep faith with the original promise of the MDGs, and now finish the job. After 2015 we should move from reducing to ending extreme poverty, in all its forms. We should ensure that no person – regardless of ethnicity, gender, geography, disability, race or other status – is denied universal human rights and basic economic opportunities.
- Put sustainable development at the core. For twenty years, the international community has aspired to integrate the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainability, but no country has yet achieved this. We must act now to halt the alarming pace of climate change and environmental degradation, which pose unprecedented threats to humanity.
- Transform economies for jobs and inclusive growth. We call for a quantum leap forward in economic opportunities and a profound economic transformation to end extreme poverty and improve livelihoods.
- Build peace and effective, open and accountable institutions for all. Freedom from fear, conflict and violence is the most fundamental human right, and the essential foundation for building peaceful and prosperous societies.
- Forge a new global partnership. Perhaps the most important transformative shift is towards a new spirit of solidarity, cooperation, and mutual accountability that must underpin the post-2015 agenda.
