A new global partnership: eradicate poverty and transform economies through sustainable development
Report of the High-level Panel of Eminent Persons on the post-2015 development agenda:
This report sets out a universal agenda to eradicate extreme poverty from the face of the earth by 2030, and deliver on the promise of sustainable development. It calls upon the world to rally around a new Global Partnership that offers hope and a role to every person in the world. The report recognizes the need to build climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction into regional and national strategies, and encourage countries to focus on these plans.
In the report, the Panel calls for the new post-2015 goals to drive five big transformative shifts: (i) move from reducing to ending extreme poverty after 2015; (ii) integrate the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainability; (iii) transform economies to end extreme poverty and improve livelihoods; (iv) build peaceful and prosperous societies; and (v) forge a new spirit of solidarity, cooperation, and mutual accountability between all stakeholders, including local authorities and their central role in disaster risk reduction – identifying risks, early warning and building resilience.
