Growing Together Sustainably: A zero-poverty post-2015 development framework

  • Thematic Section
  • Published:
Development Aims and scope

Abstract

The article argues that proper attention to five major emerging trends will be crucial for the success of any development framework beyond 2015: (a) poverty and inequality, (b) economic crisis and job loss, (c) trade, finance and aid (d) rights, violation and violence and (e) climate change. The article goes on to use these trends to review the latest proposals on the post-2015, and provides a set of indicators based on new five fundamental principles of rights, equality, justice, sustainability and partnership for development through historic responsibility.
