Generalsekretærens statusrapport for 2015-Målene om en bedre verden er nu på gaden med titlen “Et Værdigt Liv for Alle” – den handler også om hvordan 2015-Målenes afløser, en ny udviklingsdagsorden frem mod 2030, bør se ud.
NEW YORK, 21 August 2013 (UN News Service): Ahead of an upcoming special General Assembly event next month in New York on efforts by United Nations Member States to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs =2015 Målene) and to define a new universal development agenda, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has released a report, “A Life of Dignity for All” (se neden for), containing his updates on the Goals and vision for the road ahead.
As 2015 approaches, the UN, Governments, civil society representatives and others have been engaged in an extensive process to meet a range of growing international challenges.
The new report takes stock of the progress that has been made and of the steps that are needed to go forward.
Contributing to the report were the views of more than a million people who were asked about their main concerns through a series of worldwide consultations in an effort unprecedented for the UN.

“Alt må gøres for at få 2015-Målene helt i hus”
“The world’s quest for (stræben efter) dignity, peace, prosperity, justice, sustainability and an end to poverty has reached an unprecedented moment of urgency,” Ban says.
He urges the international community to take “every step possible” to achieve the MDGs by the target date of 2015.
The new report was released ahead of the 25 September General Assembly Special Event on the MDGs and post-2015 development agenda, during a week of several high-level events that will be under way next month at UN Headquarters in New York.
Responding to a changing world where new economic powers have emerged and new technologies are reshaping lives, the report finds that the “new era demands a new vision and a responsive global framework.”
“We have made remarkable progress,” Mr. Ban reports, noting that many countries, including some of the poorest, “have aligned their policies and resources with the MDGs to make unparalleled gains.”
“Ours is the first generation with the resources and know-how to end extreme poverty and put our planet on a sustainable course before it is too late,” the Secretary-General says in his report. “Fulfilling our existing commitments and promises on the MDGs must remain our foremost priority.”
Det, der står tilbage at nå
With less than 1.000 days to the 2015 target date (http://www.2015.dk), bold action is needed in many areas:
* One in eight people worldwide remain hungry.
* Too many women die in childbirth when we have the means to save them.
* More than 2.5 billion people lack adequate sanitation.
* Inequalities between and within countries persist.
* Our resource base (naturen) is in serious decline, with continuing losses of forests, species (arter) and fish stocks, in a world with the growing impact of climate change.

Og udviklingsdagordenen fra 2015 til 2030
In the report, the UN chief also outlines his vision for a new and responsive sustainable development framework to meet the needs of both people and planet.
Ban calls for a new, broader set of targets beyond 2015 which reflects new global realities and challenges.
The goals should be measurable (nemt at måle), adaptable to both global and local settings and apply to all countries. He points to the importance of rule of law and well-functioning institutions.
Sustainable development – providing economic transformation and opportunity to lift people out of poverty, advancing social justice and protecting the environment – should lie at the heart of the next steps, backed by enhanced accountability and a sense of shared responsibilities.
“Ingen må stå efterladt tilbage”
The Secretary-General, in conclusion, calls on Member States with the support of the UN System to “continue to listen to and involve the peoples of the world”.
“The world’s nations must unite behind a common programme to act on calls for peace and justice, for eradicating poverty, realizing rights, eliminating inequalities, enhancing accountability, and preserving our planet.”
“No one must be left behind. We must continue to build a future of justice and hope. A life of dignity for all,” stressed he.
