In September 2000 world leaders attending the United Nations Millennium Summit in New York took stock of the gross inequalities in human development worldwide, and declared “their collective responsibility to uphold the principles of human dignity, equality and equity at the global level.” They set out a series of eight goals for halving extreme poverty in the world by 2015, to be known as the Millennium Development Goals.
tve‘s new series of Life explores what the goals are, why they matter — and what now are the prospects for achieving them by 2015, in the current geo-political climate and a post 9/11 world.
