ZEF invites you to a public lecture on “The UN’s Post-2015 Agenda for Sustainable Development: Positions, Suggestions and Insights from a German NGO Point of View”, as part of our Senior Researcher Seminar Series.
Background: The year 2015 is a decisive year for sustainable development. In September governments will adopt the post-2015 agenda along with a set of sustainable development goals. The intergovernmental negotiations have just started and are based on a comprehensive process of research, dialogue and continuous meetings between states (in the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development, OWG), as well as with other stakeholders that took place over the last two years. The result of this process is a comprehensive report that serves as a basis for the current negotiations – the report of the OWG with its 17 goals and more than 150 targets.
The position paper, “Eight Key Issues for a Post-2015 Global Development and Sustainability Agenda”, can be downloaded on the ZEF website (link below).
About the speaker: Jürgen Maier is the director of the German NGO Forum on Environment and Development. The German Forum on Environment and Development was founded on December 12th 1992 after the UN conference on Environment and Development (“Rio”) and serves as an NGO network for both environmental and development CSOs. Its main objective is to coordinate German CSOs in national and international political processes on sustainable development.
