The agreement reached, entitled “Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,” will be formally adopted at a special United Nations Summit starting September 25, and more than 160 world leaders are expected to attend the monumental event. As the deadline for completing the MDGs and the rollout for the next set of goals rapidly approaches, 2015 will certainly be remembered as a watershed moment in the history of international development cooperation. It will be remembered as a year for reflection on how far we have come, as well as how far away we still remain.
