Squaring the Circle: The Millennium Development Goals, Post-2015

The United Nations (UN) Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are a set of eight targets, established by the UN in 2000, to mobilize national and collective efforts on critical development issues by 2015. Post-2015 Goals will determine priorities, motivate action and influence spending for development. Extensive consultations underway worldwide have elicited dozens of suggestions. The panel discussed how to make sense of the wide-ranging debates.
