Main message 1 - A new globaldevelopment frameworkis needed.

The MDGs have been instrumental in mobilising global support for development, while the vision behind the Millennium Declaration remains highly relevant. A new development framework should build on these efforts. The scale and urgency of the challenges and opportunities facing developing countries also provide a strong rationale for a post-2015 agreement. Given their intrinsic international nature, the new framework would need to cover a range of global issues that affect development out come ssuch as climate change and consumption patterns.
