At the Rio+20 Summit this past June, the world’s governments agreed to adopt a new set of goals on sustainable development for the period after 2015, to build upon the Millennium Development Goals’ success in reducing poverty, hunger, and disease. In the post-2015 era, the fight against poverty and the fight to protect the environment will go hand in hand, reinforcing each other.
在去年6月的里约+20峰会上，全球政府同意在千年发展目标（Millennium Development Goal）在较少贫困、饥饿和病痛方面取得诸多成就的基础上设立新的面向2015年之后的可持续发展目标。2015年以后，全世界将携手共同抵抗贫困和保护环境。秘书长潘基文已经启动了数项全球计划以帮助全世界以开放性、参与式、以知识为基础的方式设定面向2015年后的新目标。
