dc.description.abstract | The main conclusions from the plenary sessions of the Policy Forum can be summarised as follows:
•
focus must still remain on achieving the MDGs;
•
developing country ownership of the new framework is essential and the approach must therefore be Southern?led;
•
the obligations of the developed countries towards the achievement of the MDGs need clarification;
•
international income and wealth redistribution should be a ‘right’ (‘automatic’ rather than discretionary), including international redistributive taxes and international inequality and its reduction should be given more emphasis;
•
ethical and moral perspectives need emphasising within a global social justice, rather than a purely Indicator?driven, approach;
•
‘fragile’ states and global uncertainty need special treatment;
•
the ‘quality’ of MDG achievements, rather than ‘quantity’, needs emphasising;
•
the science and technology capacity of developing countries is critically important;
•
processes which deliver the quantitative Indicators (MDGs) require more emphasis.
Serious research is needed to ensure the debate is well informed. | en |
