“Vi står foran det vigtigste år for verdens udvikling siden FNs stiftelse (i oktober 1945 ,red.)”, sagde FNs generalsekretær torsdag, da han fremlagde skitsen til de næste 15 års globale dagsorden, som skal tage endeligt livtag med fattigdom i alle dens former og afskygninger.
NEW YORK, 4 December 2014 (UN News Service): Calling for inclusive, agile (hurtig) and coordinated action to usher in an era of sustainable development for all, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon Thursday presented the UN General Assembly with an advance version of his so-called “synthesis report,” which will guide negotiations for a new global agenda centred on people and the planet, and underpinned by human rights.
“Next year, 2015, will herald an unprecedented opportunity to take far-reaching, long-overdue global action to secure our future well-being,” Mr. Ban said as he called on Member States to be “determined” in negotiating the new global agenda from next year (dagsorden 2030).
The agenda will succeed the landmark Millennium Development Goals (MDGs = 2015 Målene), the UN-backed effort to reduce extreme poverty and hunger, promote education, especially for girls, fight disease and protect the environment, all by 2015.
The UN chief presented his synthesis report, “The Road to Dignity by 2030: Ending Poverty, Transforming All Lives and Protecting the Planet”, describing the process of intergovernmental negotiations that fed into the report’s compilation.
This is to set the stage for agreement on the new framework at a September 2015 summit. The synthesis report aims to support States’ discussions going forward, taking stock of the negotiations on the post-2015 agenda and reviewing lessons from pursuit of the MDGs.
Gør jobbet færdigt!
It stresses the need to “finish the job” – both to help people now and as a launch pad for the new agenda.
In the report’s conclusion, the Secretary-General issues a powerful charge to Member States, saying:
“We are on the threshold of the most important year of development since the founding of the United Nations itself. We must give meaning to this Organization’s promise to ‘reaffirm faith in the dignity and worth of the human person’ and to take the world forward to a sustainable future”.
“We have an historic opportunity and duty to act, boldly, vigorously and expeditiously, to turn reality into a life of dignity for all, leaving no one behind.”
The coming months would see agreement on the final parameters of the post-2015 agenda and he stressed the need for inclusion of a compelling and principled narrative, based on human rights and dignity.

Financing and other means of implementation would also be essential and he called for strong, inclusive public mechanisms for reporting, monitoring progress, learning lessons, and ensuring shared responsibility.
He welcomed the outcome produced by the Open Working Group, saying its 17 proposed sustainable development goals and 169 associated targets clearly expressed an agenda aiming at ending poverty, achieving shared prosperity, protecting the planet and leaving no one behind.
The goals should be “focused and concise” to boost global awareness and country-level implementation, communicating clearly Member States’ ambition and vision.
The synthesis report presented dignity, people, prosperity, the planet, justice and partnerships as an integrated set of “essential elements” aimed at providing conceptual guidance during discussions of the goals and Mr. Ban stressed that none could be considered in isolation from the others and that each was an integral part of the whole.
Lakmustesten er konkret handling
“Implementation will be the litmus test of this agenda. It must be placed on a sound financial footing,” he said.
The Financing for Development Conference in Addis Ababa next year would play a major role in outlining the means for implementation, and he stressed the “key role” national Governments would play in raising domestic revenue to benefit the poorest and most vulnerable members of society.
Official development assistance (ODA) and international public funds, particularly for vulnerable countries, would also be vital to unlocking “the transformative power of trillions of dollars of private resources”.
Den vigtige private sektor
At the same time, private investment would be particularly important on projects related to the transition to low-carbon economies, improving access to water, renewable energy, agriculture, industry, infrastructure and transport.
Implementation would also rely on bridging the technology gap, creating a new framework for shared accountability, and providing reliable data, which he called the “lifeblood of sound decision-making.”
Stressing his commitment to ensuring the best outcome from the post-2015 process, he underlined the need for States to be guided by universal human rights and international norms, while remaining responsive to different needs and contexts in different countries.
Amina J. Mohammed, the Secretary-General’s Special Adviser on Post-2015 Development Planning has stressed that one of the report’s main “takeaways” is that “by 2030 we can end poverty, we can transform lives and we can find ways to protect the planet while doing that.”
