Towards a Transformative Post‐2015 Development Agenda - retreat 2

On 9-10 February 2014, the Independent Research Forum on a Post-2015 Sustainable Development Agenda (IRF2015) – a collaboration of leading sustainable development research institutes from across the globe – hosted the second in a series of informal retreats on the theme “Towards a Transformative Post-2015 Development Agenda.” The purpose of the retreats is to provide an informal setting for open and substantive exchange of views on issues critical to framing the global debate on the post-2015 development agenda. The retreats progressively look at a range of issues at the intersection of poverty eradication and sustainable development.

This second retreat included participants from 33 member states, UN and World Bank representatives, and members of IRF2015. The governments of Norway, Peru, Switzerland and Tanzania supported the organization of the retreat.
