DESCRIPTION:In September 2015 the United Nations General Assembly will ag
 ree a new set of global development goals to replace the Millennium Deve
 lopment Goals (2000-2015). These Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) wi
 ll be universal (all countries in the world should pursue them) and will
  seek to integrate social justice\, economic growth and environmental su
 stainability. They will be the world’s biggest promise. But\, after the 
 rousing speeches by world leaders in September have finished\, will the 
 SDGs make a difference and foster social\, economic\, political and tech
 nological innovations…or will business as usual be the outcome? \n\nThis
  seminar brings together the insights of two analysts directly involved 
 in the negotiation processes and two academic observers. It will explore
  the past and present processes that have shaped the SDG Agenda (especia
 lly the contrasting positions taken by different groups of countries and
  key players) and the anticipated implications of the SDGs for economic\
 , social and political systems. \n\nAbout the panellists\n•	Neva Frechev
