At the Millennium Summit in September 2000 the largest gathering of world leaders in history adopted the UN Millennium Declaration, committing their nations to a new global partnership to reduce extreme poverty and setting out a series of time-bound targets, with a deadline of 2015, that have become known as the "Millennium Development Goals." 3, record 1, English, - Millennium%20Development%20Goals

The eight "Millennium Development Goals"("MDGs") – which range from halving extreme poverty rates to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by the target date of 2015 – form a blueprint agreed to by all the world's countries and all the world's leading development institutions. They have galvanized unprecedented efforts to meet the needs of the world's poorest. The UN is also working with governments, civil society and other partners to build on the momentum generated by the "MDGs" and carry on with an ambitious post-2015 development agenda. 2, record 1, English, - Millennium%20Development%20Goals

Les huit «objectifs du Millénaire pour le développement» («OMD») forment un plan approuvé par tous les pays du monde et par toutes les grandes institutions mondiales de développement. Ils ont galvanisé des efforts sans précédent pour répondre aux besoins des plus pauvres dans le monde et arrivent à expiration à la fin 2015. Pour leur succéder, l'ONU a travaillé avec les gouvernements, la sociéte civile et les différents partenaires pour exploiter la dynamique dégagée par les «OMD» et élaborer un programme ambitieux pour l'après-2015 : Transformer notre monde : le Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030. Il s'articule autour de 17 objectifs mondiaux pour le développement durable. 1, record 1, French, - objectifs%20du%20Mill%C3%A9naire%20pour%20le%20d%C3%A9veloppement
