Addis Ababa Action Agenda updates development goals

July 20, 2017

The targets established at the Third International Conference Financing for Development in Addis Ababa replace the millennium development goals. Along with a vision for ending poverty and hunger, eradicating gender inequality and creating a more equitable global system, the agreement also recognises the need to finance these efforts better. Proposals include means of raising development finance, improving international tax co-operation and financing low-carbon and climate resilient development.
