UNA Warwick & District: International Development Agenda - Millennium Development Goals & Beyond 2015

Guest Speaker: Professor Franklyn Lisk

Franklyn Lisk was a major contributor to the Report of the UN`s High- Level Panel on the Post 2015 Development Agenda. The Panel which was co-chaired by UK Prime Minister David Cameron and others consulted more than 5000 civil society groups from 121 countries.

The Report calls for an end to extreme poverty by 2030 (defined as people earning less than $1.25 a day), and sets out 12 illustrative goals, which act as a guide for any future framework.

The Report also calls for "universal goals", national targets. Franklyn Lisk is engaged in research and policy analysis on global health governance and international development issues.
