the High Level Panel proposals
www.post2015hlp.org
January 2014
Background

July 2012 : UNSG convened a High-Level Panel to advise
him on a bold and practical development agenda beyond
2015.

27 Eminent Persons, 3 cochairs : President Yudhoyono
(Indonesia), President Sirleaf (Liberia), and Prime Minister
Cameron (United Kingdom).

May 30, 2013 : report submission. Overall objective :

development within one generation.

Special Event on MDGs/Post-2015, September 25, 2013 :

exceeding $8 trillion
 Thematic, regional, and country consultations all over
the world
Business-as-usual is not an option

8 billion by 2030 - 9 by 2050 : more urban, middle class,
interdependent, vulnerable, constrained in resources, older.

Half the world’s poor live in conflict-affected countries that
need capable and responsive institutions.

Carbon emissions must be reduced below today’s voluntary
pledges to avoid a 4-degree Celsius scenario.

Natural disasters cost since 2000 : $2.5 trillion. Environmental
assets are under threat

BUT growth, technologies and scaling up proven solutions
offer huge opportunities for sustainable development
A shared vision

High ambition: ending extreme poverty in all its forms
(finishing the job) in the context of sustainable development
and having building blocks of sustained prosperity for all

A paradigm shift: a single, universal and transformative
agenda, addressing economic growth, social equality and


14
All our main challenges impact food security & its 4 pillars :
-
-
demographic pressure : about 50% more food needed by 2030
urbanisation
Inequalities : 70% poor people are in rural areas, women first victims
while they are account for 60 to 80% of farmers
climate change, increase frequency of natural disasters
biodiversity and environmental degradation, fish stocks reduction
financial instability (commodity price volatility)…
 Universal challenge : obesity killing three times as many as
malnutrition, The Lancet, Dec. 2012
 Food security impact all the other goals : poverty, health,
gender…
 Global approach for both a dedicated goal focus on
outcome and mainstreaming this challenges. ex : nexus food
security, water, energy
Transformative shifts for food security
✓ Leave No One Behind :
- Right based approach
- Global minimum standards : “zero hunger goal, UNSG initiative.
- Indicators to be disaggregated
✓ Put Sustainable Development at the Core :
-
promote SCP (sustainable agri; waste reduction…)
« climate friendly agriculture »
biodiversity and environment protection et restoration
inclusive agriculture
✓ Transform Economies for Jobs and Inclusive Growth:
- increase sustainable agriculture productivity
- promote access to innovation for all
- target especially small holders yields and woman
✓ Forge a New Global Partnership:
- Ensure more and better long-term finance, beyond aid.
- ensure fair trade system for agriculture
