UN Millennium Development Goals


We Can End Poverty 2015

New York, United States, September 22, 2010

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Heads of State and Government, along with the private sector, foundations, international organizations, civil society and research organizations, kicked off a major concerted worldwide effort to accelerate progress on women's and children's health. This Millennium Development Goals Summit was part of the high-level plenary meeting of the UN General Assembly in New York.

The annual assessment report, released by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, shows that the world has made huge strides in reducing extreme poverty, tackling HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases, and boosting access to clean drinking water, but is still lagging in other critical areas, such as improving maternal health and increasing access to decent sanitation.

NOTE: The Universal Peace Federation's projects and activities are directed to finding innovative ways to meet the MDGs and other difficult challenges facing the human family. It supplements the UN's perspective by stating that peace and prosperity for the human family cannot come through human effort alone. UPF advocates forming an interreligious council within the UN system to draw upon the insights of the world's religious traditions to address global issues.
