Overview

The United Nations Millennium Declaration, adopted by all 189 States Members of the United Nations on 8 September 2000, presents a set of commitments aimed at improving the well-being of humanity in the twenty-first century. The development goals set out in the Millennium Declaration focus on poverty eradication through broad-based sustainable development. The Millennium Development Goals include the objective of halving, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of the world’s population that lives on one dollar per day or less (a measure of extreme poverty) and the proportion that suffers from hunger.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Decent Work and Economic Growth
