A workshop organized by IDDRI and FERDI, under the IDGM Initiative for Development and Global Governance (IDGM), in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
With two years to go before the 2015 deadline for the Millennium Development Goals, the United Nations have launched a series of consultations aimed at defining the framework and content of the post-2015 agenda. One of the subjects identified as being particularly important it the sustainability of our environment.
Environmental sustainability is a prerequisite for poverty reduction and development, but the debates on how this can be integrated into the future agenda are many.
One of the major challenges facing the future agenda is that development goals must indispensably be reconciled with protection of the environment.
How can environmental sustainability be integrated into the post-2015 agenda so as to optimize this reconciliation? What interdependencies exist between environmental sustainability and the other topics likely to be included on the post-2015 agenda (education, gender, infrastructure, governance, health, social protection, etc.)?
The workshop will bring together an invited panel of experts drawn from academic, ministerial and political fields, and from associations and think tanks, all of whom are actively involved in the debate. The morning session will provide an update of the ongoing negotiations and deepen the debates on the key challenges of the post-2015 agenda, while the afternoon will focus more specifically on environmental sustainability in the future agenda.
