U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon revealed Thursday his vision for the post-2015 development framework that will replace the Millenium Development Goals when these expire at the end of next year.
Ban told the U.N. General Assembly that the world body is poised to usher in an “era of transformation” that places “people and the planet” at the center and “underpinned by human rights” as it develops the new agenda.
The U.N. chief also presented a “synthesis report” which he said will guide discussions on drafting the final sustainable development goals led by Ireland and Kenya.
