Ministerial Meeting on Health and the Environment


MDG Goals

The eight Millennium Development Goals represent a unique global compact. They reflect an unprecedented commitment by the world’s leaders to tackle the most basic forms of injustice in our world: poverty, illiteracy and ill-health.

In September, three months from now, political leaders will re-convene in New York and assess progress towards the goals they set five years ago at the Millennium Summit.
