World's Shared Vision at the Millennium Summit

Before the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were formed, there was no common development goal in the world (McArthur 2013). In many countries, especially in developing and least developed countries, the income gap between the wealthy and the poor is expanding. The poor do not benefit from growth and income equality is expanding the living environment of many developing countries, which is awful. At September 2000, at the Millennium Summit, 189 world leaders supported the UN Millennium Declaration.

The historic United Nations Conference and Summit held in the 1990s produced an unprecedented global agreement on a common vision for development and eventually reached the Millennium Declaration adopted at the Millennium Summit in 2000. This vision is based on a human rights framework, including development rights, which provides an important foundation for achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The Millennium Development Goal eliminates extreme poverty and hunger as the first of its eight goals.

Following the adoption of the Millennium Declaration at the Millennium Summit in 2000, eight Millennium Development Goals were formulated. These goals are a subset of the United Nations World Conference and the summit goals and commitments of the 1990s and provide a comprehensive framework for action in target areas. Along with that period and measurable goals, the Millennium Development Goals will provide valuable and effective benchmarks to monitor progress and achieve concrete results.

To save the situation, 189 World Summit Summit was held in September 2000 and they promised to integrate themselves and their country with the eight goals, the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). The Millennium Development Goal is seen as a universal remedy for low development. These targets were created by the United Nations under the guidance of Ban Ki-moon (Secretary-General of the United Nations) in order to tackle issues that are deemed to be interfering with developing countries. It was adopted in 189 countries and signed by 174 state and government leaders. (UNDP, 2005)

To end poverty by 2015 is a historical promise by 189 global leaders who sign the Millennium Declaration at the UN Millennium Summit in 2000 and agree to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015 is. The Millennium Development Goal is an 8-point roadmap with measurable goals and a clear deadline for improving the lives of the poorest people in the world. Ten years later, our leaders will be responsible for gathering in New York again on 20th September, reviewing the progress and ensuring world leaders will keep their promises.
