Sustainable Development Goals
Time to Talk *
Für 2015 wurde ein Meilenstein in der Internationalen Entwicklung versprochen: Mit den Millennium Development Goals, von allen Staatschef_innen der UN unterzeichnet, sollten Hunger und Armut weltweit halbiert werden. Wurden die Ziele erreicht? Was verspricht das Nachfolgeprogramm Sustainable Development Goals? Wer vertraut den Ankündigungen der Vereinten Nationen oder der Nationalstaaten?
Fifteen years ago a milestone was set for the future of international development: the Millennium Development Goals signed by all heads of state in the UN aimed to cut hunger and poverty in half by 2015. Did they achieve their objectives? What does the new program Sustainable Development Goals promise? Can we trust these announced ambitions? Can we trust that the United Nations is strong enough to convince the nation states to implement these goals? Can we trust that the signatory nation states will take these objectives seriously?
