Action for MDGs
Local authorities active for the Millennium Development Goals
The Millennium Development Goals or MDGs have formed the global framework for development policy commitments since the turn on the century. They express the most pressing milestones needed to overcome poverty – a lofty goal, which, unfortunately, will not be achieved by the 2015 deadline. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), formulated in September 2015, form the new post-2015 development agenda, which is based on universally applicable human rights and aim to achieve social and ecological justice. Action for MDGs helps to embed global development goals locally and to better incorporate them into the work of local authorities. The project offers a broad range of tools for the political administrations and the public alike.
Climate Alliance members can benefit from direct support in the development, implementation and presentation of local development policy commitments and agendas as well as receive information on municipal development cooperation. Presentations, workshops and seminars for politicians and administrative staff are available as are exhibitions to rent or print on demand. Municipalities can take advantage of the opportunity to exchange on the local, national and European level with partners from the Global South and are invited to make use of seminars, art events, competitions, role plays, theatre performances and more to motivate their citizens to get involved.
