About the Millenium Development Goals (MDG)
The United Nations’ (UN) global summits and conferences held throughout the 1990s addressed global social, economic and environmental issues facing both developing and developed countries. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) summarise the development goals agreed upon during these events. At the end of the decade, the leaders distilled the key goals and targets in the Millennium Declaration.
The origins of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) lie in the UN Millennium Declaration, which was endorsed and adopted by the largest-ever gathering of Heads of States of 189 UN Member States on September 8, 2000.
