The document outlines the eight Millennium Development Goals agreed upon by UN members in 2000 to be achieved by 2015: 1) eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, 2) achieve universal primary education, 3) promote gender equality and empower women, 4) reduce child mortality, 5) improve maternal health, 6) combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases, 7) ensure environmental sustainability, and 8) develop a global partnership for development. It then lists specific targets for each goal, such as reducing by half the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water. In closing, the UN Secretary-General notes that 2015 marks the deadline for completing these goals and establishing new sustainable development goals and a universal climate agreement.
