This document discusses the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that may replace the MDGs after their 2015 deadline. It provides an update on progress toward achieving the MDGs and outlines some suggested objectives for the SDGs, focusing on development topics like poverty, education, health, environment, and inequality. The document also discusses how fair trade practices can help support achievement of both the existing MDGs and future SDGs through increased incomes, premium funds for community projects, and environmental protection standards. It invites input on a citizens' petition and declaration from Polish fair trade towns to demonstrate local impact and commitment to the goals.

Global Governance and Sustainable Development Goals: All Change... No Change?
On 1st January 2016 the world moved from implementing the poverty reducing Millennium Development Goals to pursuing the poverty eradicating, prosperity promoting and sustainability enhancing Sustainable Development Goals. The UN has frames the new goals as ‘transformational’ but is this correct… or, are the SDGs merely another smaller scale, episodic advance?
In this lecture Professor Hulme assess the evidence and analyses the processes underpinning the MDGs to SDGs shift.

TRADING INTO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: TRADE, MARKET ACCESS AND THE SUSTAINABL...Ira Kristina Lumban Tobing
This report examines various interactions between trade policy, with a specific focus on market access conditions, and factors that constitute the basis for achieving sustainable development. Market access conditions vis-à- vis imports are determined by a combination of border measures and “behind the border” measures, both of which add costs to the price of an imported product. By generating significant impact upon consumer welfare and the competitiveness of domestic industries, market access conditions in international trade thus are a key determinant of the effectiveness of trade as a means of implementation.
The Sustainable Development Goals—officially known as "Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development"—are an intergovernmental set of 17 aspirational goals and 169 targets. Building post-2015 on the accomplishments of the Millennium Development Goals, but cognizant also of their shortcomings, they combine economic, environmental, and social goals that now apply to all countries. They were developed in a broad two-year consultation process during which civil society, citizens, academics, scientists, and the private sector of all countries had the opportunity to contribute.
In September 2000, leaders of 189 countries gathered at the United Nations headquarters and signed the historic Millennium Declaration, in which they committed to achieving a set of measurable goals that provide a framework for development planning for countries around the world by the target date of 2015.

What are the United Nations Millennium Development Goals? Why they are important, and how you can help.
This is a presentation that I gave to about 300 Chinese students at an Open Forum hosted by the World Academy for the Future of Women (WAFW) at Sias International University. As a member of the World Academy, all women design and execute service projects, linked to one or more of the UN Millenium Development Goals.
For 20 years now, the United Nations has been a partner of the Government and people in the country with the goal to ensure inclusive and sustainable development, based on national priorities and plans. UN activities are carried out in the framework of the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for 2010-2015.
The UNDAF was developed in an inclusive manner, in partnership with the Government, and it sets out the priorities for United Nations agencies’ work in the country. The UNDAF is centred on three key areas: social inclusion, local governance and environmental protection, including climate change. We are now at the mid-term of the UNDAF cycle, as 2012 was the third year of implementation.
As such, the UN is pleased to present a comprehensive overview of our work in 2012 and the results achieved, which bring us substantially closer to the overall goals set out in the UNDAF. In 2012, results were achieved across a broad range of areas, from increasing human capital and promoting employment, access to services, empowering local government to provide quality social services, and promoting environmentally sustainable development. Over the course of the year programmes in these areas were delivered to a value of US$16.5 million.
This work on the ground was supported by a range of analytical and data collection work. The work of the UN agencies is supported by the invaluable partnerships we have with Government, local government institutions, other national stakeholders, civil society, academia and the private sector. Alongside technical expertise and funding from the UN agencies, the additional support provided by the Government itself, and the Governments of Austria, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Switzerland, the European Union and the Global Environment Facility towards the implementation of UN programmes allowed much of this work to be carried out.
Finally, a special word of thanks must go to some 120 UN personnel in country, mostly national staff, whose skills, knowledge and commitment to the UN’s purpose and mission are an essential contribution to ensure that the United Nations delivers its maximum potential for the country.

Millennium Development Goal progress report 2014, The
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were a pledge
to uphold the principles of human dignity, equality and
equity, and free the world from extreme poverty. The
MDGs, with eight goals and a set of measurable timebound
targets, established a blueprint for tackling the
most pressing development challenges of our time. This report examines the latest progress towards
achieving the MDGs. It reaffirms that the MDGs
have made a profound difference in people’s lives.
Global poverty has been halved five years ahead of
the 2015 timeframe. Ninety per cent of children in
developing regions now enjoy primary education, and
disparities between boys and girls in enrolment have
narrowed. Remarkable gains have also been made in
the fight against malaria and tuberculosis, along with
improvements in all health indicators. The likelihood of
a child dying before age five has been nearly cut in half
over the last two decades. That means that about 17,000
children are saved every day. We also met the target
of halving the proportion of people who lack access to
improved sources of water.
At the turn of the century, world leaders came together
at the United Nations and agreed on a bold vision for
the future through the Millennium Declaration. The
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were a pledge
to uphold the principles of human dignity, equality and
equity, and free the world from extreme poverty. MDGs, with eight goals and a set of measurable timebound targets, established a blueprint for tackling the most pressing development challenges of our time. This report examines the latest progress towards achieving the MDGs.
Millions of people’s lives have improved due to concerted global, regional, national and local efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which serve as the foundation for the next global development agenda, according to the report launched by the Secretary-General on 7 July 2014.

17. How Fair Trade can affect the
achievement of MDGs and SDGs?
We believe that Fair Trade can contribute to the
achievement of the MDGs and SDGs in a variety of ways.
The increased income levels and income security, thanks to
Fair Trade, help to ensure that producers are less
vulnerable to fluctuations in food prices.
United Nations Development Programme
Project Office in Poland
18. Fair Trade contributes toward the
MDGs and SDGs in several ways:
• The Fair Trade Minimum Price, which
serves as a safety net for the producers
when market prices fall below levels of
sustainable production, can be critical in
keeping producers out of poverty.
• The Fair Trade Premium is used by
producers and their communities to fund
projects for social, economic and
environmental development.
United Nations Development Programme
Project Office in Poland
19. Fair Trade contributes toward the
MDGs and SDGs in several ways:
• Fair Trade Standards ensure environmental protection,
which is an important aspect because:
By the end of 2030 almost 60% of the world population
will be living in the urban areas - it is crucial that they get
sustained in a sustainable
way.
