A checklist of targets for post-MDG development policies

“It would be a missed opportunity not to think more radically about what the world truly needs, beyond a mere second chapter to the MDGs. There is an urgent need to focus the world’s attention on the existential problems that have scarcely been touched by the MDGs – all those connected with the planet’s ability to sustain itself.”

In a new Europe’s World blog, John Holmes discusses policy options for after 2015. He argues that it is ‘vital to think ahead’ even though not all MDGs will have been achieved by the date the Goals expire.
