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.
