Post-2015 Agenda for Sustainable Development - Key Positions of the German Government

2015 will be an important year in international politics; the international community will

• take stock with regard to the Millennium Declaration adopted by the United Nations in 2000 and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) derived from that Declaration,
• make efforts to conclude a new global climate agreement and
• adopt the post-2015 agenda for sustainable development.

This post-2015 agenda, which will apply for all countries, is to be adopted at a UN summit in September 2015. Germany will also be promoting the agenda as part of its G8 presidency.
