We are now at the midpoint between the adoption of the 8 United Nations MDGs and the 2015 target date for their fulfillment. They define the primary issues of our generation and we must alter their course now or many may become irreversible.

Millennium Goal: Ensure Environmental Sustainability

Goal 8: Develop A Global Partnership For Development

 In our world today:

  • Developed countries pledged to give 0.7% of their national income in aid, and only 5 countries are living up to the commitment. The United States is giving less than 0.2%.
  • It is estimated that were developed countries to break down trade barriers, this could help lift 300 million people out of poverty by 2015.

To reach Goal 8, developed countries need to open their markets to products made in developing countries, and greater debt cancellation for developing countries must be implemented. We must increase job opportunities for young people that are meaningful and contribute to the creation of sustainable communities.
