                Advisor to Minister María Angela Holguín, Minister of Foreign Affairs
                                   of Colombia and Member of the High Level Panel
                             Director of Economic, Social, and Environmental Affairs

Colombia’s Proposal on the Endpoint

The Post 2015 exercise, which should be developed as a single
overarching process, should culminate in agreement on:

A single agenda with a
single set of Goals that
will serve to align
priorities, efforts and
resources to tackle the
major development
challenges of our times.
Principles of the New Agenda
• The new agenda must be universal in scope, but allow for
  differentiation between national contexts
• Equity must be centerpiece:
      • Within countries
      • Between countries
      • Intergenerational
• Gains should be irreversible
• Long-term sustained poverty eradication is only possible in a
  context of sustainble development
• Global level issues must be taken into account (eg trade,
  international finance, migration….)
Concerns regarding the MDGs
• In the homestretch to 2015,
  efforts to accelerate MDG
  implementation could be
  undermined

• Basic issues prioritized by the
  MDGs would lose visibility and
  remain unfinished

• The focus on poverty
  eradication could be lost

     We need to avoid it!
Continued Relevance of the MDGs
               • The targets of the MDGs are so
                 basic and essential that they must
                 be included in a post 2015
                 framework
               • It is not valid to believe that the
                 key issues the MDGs address will
                 not remain as important post
                 2015 as they have been to date.

              THE MDG TARGETS WILL LIVE ON
Drawbacks to 2 Separate Agendas
• Establishes a divide between poverty
  and sustainable development –these
  are not separate challenges
• Positions poverty eradication as
  actionable only within an agenda of
  minimums
• Comprehensive and sustained poverty
  eradication demands investments and
  policies beyond a “pro-poor” focus
• Sustained poverty eradication is not just
  about ODA
Drawbacks to 2 Separate Agendas


Fragments efforts and focus at both national and global levels
• Maintains an artificial separation between countries – and in
  some cases, within countries
• Will not reflect the planet in 20 years
• Makes it impossible to articulate global level issues
Drawbacks to 2 Separate Agendas
• Generates unmanageable
  overlaps between the two
  agendas: for example, in terms of
  finance, infrastructure (energy,
  water, housing, transport)
• Creates serious difficulties in
  terms of monitoring, reporting
  and overall accountability
• Creates additional administrative
  burdens: for example, two
  separate review conferences?
Benefits of Convergence
            •   Poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon
            •   Poverty gains must be irreversible
            •   An agenda of minimums will not deliver
                sustained, systemic poverty eradication – and will
                definitely not deliver long-term wellbeing …..
            •   Real poverty eradication demands that we also
                plan and provide for an emerging global middle
                class

            As Jeffrey Sachs recently said with regards to these
                 two processes, keeping them apart would be
                        “devastating to both agendas”.
Benefits of Convergence
• The new agenda must reflect the deep interlinkages between issues:
  …clean water and infant mortality; education and productive lives…

• As we exceed the planet’s carrying capacity, a BAU scenario cannot
  deliver sustained poverty reduction

• Degradation of natural resources and resource scarcities are root
  causes of poverty

• Sustainability is NOT a “green agenda”: it is about the sustained well-
  being of a globalized society on a planetary scale

   “The main problem is overconsumption
   by the richest”.                                        Professor Hans Rosling

                   target linking food security – agriculture to
                    water availability. This same target would
                   therefore be relevant for a potential global
FS-Target A       W-Target A goal on water. Target A
                                              G-T                             E-T Target A

            Similarly, it is foreseeable that in
              order to deliver on a potential
            global goal on gender, access to
                                                     G-T Target A
              services and W-Target A
 FS-Target A                                                                    E-T Target A
                              resources would
               need to be ensured. Thus a
             target on access to water could
 FS-Target B                 W-Target B              G-T Target B               E-T Target B
             be shared between a potential
            goal on GENDER and a potential
                     goal on WATER.
 FS-Target C                 W-Target C              G-T Target C               E-T Target C

        Other examples of “shared targets” are indicated by the “small icons”
                 located alongside the targets under the different
                              potential global goals.
How does this work in practice?



  • The following slides illustrate, using a potential
    Candidate Global Goal on HEALTH, how the MDG
    targets could be incorporated into a more
    comprehensive Global Goal in order to arrive at a
    single set of Global Goals for the Post 2015
    framework.

  linkages, for example to water, food security
         and infrastructure, are critical.                 Universal Coverage
How does this work in practice?



  • The following slide illustrates, using the same
    logic of the preceding example, how the model
    would apply to a potential Candidate Global Goal
    on FOOD SECURITY - in order to arrive at a single
    set of Global Goals for the Post 2015 framework.

How to make the new Agenda UNIVERSAL?

  In addition to the MODEL for the
  Global Goals, it is also important to
   UNIVERSAL                   EQUITABLE
  reflect on how we are going to
  deliver on a characteristic that there
  seems to be broad agreement on:
  the new development agenda must
  be UNIVERSAL
Principles of the New Agenda

                   A framework that is:

     UNIVERSAL             &                  EQUITABLE

                  ….requires a method
                  for differentiation
Because:
- We face global challenges
- As a globalized society we are highly interdependent
- We have regional, national and local specificities
Balancing Requirements

Need to provide for:                     • Tailored to national
                                           priorities and
  • Global coherence
                                           circumstances
  • Global level factors
                                         • Incorporating the
  • Minimum standards         Balance      multidimensional
  • Comparability and         between      challenges of
     aggregation at global   top-down      development including
     levels                      &         poverty eradication and
                             bottom-up     sustainability
A Basic Architecture to Deliver
on Differentiation
                           As many have suggested, the
                             best architecture would
                             provide for
                           • global goals that focus on
                             global development priorities
                             & challenges
                           • targets and indicators tailored
                             to national priorities and
                             circumstances

                             How to make this operational?
How to deliver on these Principles:
a two-tiered approach
                   Agreement on a few salient global priorities=G
                   Goals

                                   Global dashboard with a
                                   nucleus of targets and
                                   indicators for each agreed
                                   Goal:
                                   • Define a set of official
                                     targets and indicators under
                                     each Global Goal
                                   • Countries can determine
                                     which they sign up to
National Specificity

                       In addition
                       • Countries can define
                          additional targets
                          and/or indicators
National Specificity

• Each country sets its own quantitative
  benchmarks and baselines




                                     2015
       2015
What the dashboard could look like:
Criteria for setting targets and indicators
 • Reflect a spectrum of progress at least in three dimensions:
    – Development
    – Sustainability
    – Inclusiveness
 • Dynamic: countries can move to more ambitious deliverables as
   they achieve given indicators
 • Measurable: information/data exists or requisite capacity building is
   within sight
 Note: some targets will focus on specific issues, others should address
   interlinkages
Convergence in a Single Set of Goals
    Delivers
•    An agenda of wellbeing beyond minimums
•    Sustianbility for long-term human progress
     within planetary boundaries
•    Irreversibility of the gains achieved
•    MDGs are conserved
•    Overcomes the false poverty-sustainability
     divide
•    Avoids fragmentation of efforts at national
     and international levels
•    A universally relevant agenda sensitive to
     local specificities throught differentiation
The Task Ahead

Our task is to come up with a framework and tools that
   are as effective as the MDGs were to enable us, as a
    global community, to tackle the great development
                                challenges of our times.
                                 Minister María Angela Holguín




    Thank you

The SDGs and the Post-2015 Process

  • 1. The SDGs and the Post-2015 Process Regional Conference on Sustainable Development Bogotá, 7-9 March 2013 PDF printable version Paula Caballero Advisor to Minister María Angela Holguín, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Colombia and Member of the High Level Panel Director of Economic, Social, and Environmental Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Colombia
  • 2. Colombia’s Proposal on the Endpoint The Post 2015 exercise, which should be developed as a single overarching process, should culminate in agreement on: A single agenda with a single set of Goals that will serve to align priorities, efforts and resources to tackle the major development challenges of our times.
  • 3. Principles of the New Agenda • The new agenda must be universal in scope, but allow for differentiation between national contexts • Equity must be centerpiece: • Within countries • Between countries • Intergenerational • Gains should be irreversible • Long-term sustained poverty eradication is only possible in a context of sustainble development • Global level issues must be taken into account (eg trade, international finance, migration….)
  • 4. Concerns regarding the MDGs • In the homestretch to 2015, efforts to accelerate MDG implementation could be undermined • Basic issues prioritized by the MDGs would lose visibility and remain unfinished • The focus on poverty eradication could be lost We need to avoid it!
  • 5. Continued Relevance of the MDGs • The targets of the MDGs are so basic and essential that they must be included in a post 2015 framework • It is not valid to believe that the key issues the MDGs address will not remain as important post 2015 as they have been to date. THE MDG TARGETS WILL LIVE ON
  • 6. Drawbacks to 2 Separate Agendas • Establishes a divide between poverty and sustainable development –these are not separate challenges • Positions poverty eradication as actionable only within an agenda of minimums • Comprehensive and sustained poverty eradication demands investments and policies beyond a “pro-poor” focus • Sustained poverty eradication is not just about ODA
  • 7. Drawbacks to 2 Separate Agendas Fragments efforts and focus at both national and global levels • Maintains an artificial separation between countries – and in some cases, within countries • Will not reflect the planet in 20 years • Makes it impossible to articulate global level issues
  • 8. Drawbacks to 2 Separate Agendas • Generates unmanageable overlaps between the two agendas: for example, in terms of finance, infrastructure (energy, water, housing, transport) • Creates serious difficulties in terms of monitoring, reporting and overall accountability • Creates additional administrative burdens: for example, two separate review conferences?
  • 9. Benefits of Convergence • Poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon • Poverty gains must be irreversible • An agenda of minimums will not deliver sustained, systemic poverty eradication – and will definitely not deliver long-term wellbeing ….. • Real poverty eradication demands that we also plan and provide for an emerging global middle class As Jeffrey Sachs recently said with regards to these two processes, keeping them apart would be “devastating to both agendas”.

Benefits of Convergence • The new agenda must reflect the deep interlinkages between issues: …clean water and infant mortality; education and productive lives… • As we exceed the planet’s carrying capacity, a BAU scenario cannot deliver sustained poverty reduction • Degradation of natural resources and resource scarcities are root causes of poverty • Sustainability is NOT a “green agenda”: it is about the sustained well- being of a globalized society on a planetary scale “The main problem is overconsumption by the richest”. Professor Hans Rosling

  • 23. How to make the new Agenda UNIVERSAL? In addition to the MODEL for the Global Goals, it is also important to UNIVERSAL EQUITABLE reflect on how we are going to deliver on a characteristic that there seems to be broad agreement on: the new development agenda must be UNIVERSAL
  • 24. Principles of the New Agenda A framework that is: UNIVERSAL & EQUITABLE ….requires a method for differentiation Because: - We face global challenges - As a globalized society we are highly interdependent - We have regional, national and local specificities
  • 25. Balancing Requirements Need to provide for: • Tailored to national priorities and • Global coherence circumstances • Global level factors • Incorporating the • Minimum standards Balance multidimensional • Comparability and between challenges of aggregation at global top-down development including levels & poverty eradication and bottom-up sustainability
  • 26. A Basic Architecture to Deliver on Differentiation As many have suggested, the best architecture would provide for • global goals that focus on global development priorities & challenges • targets and indicators tailored to national priorities and circumstances How to make this operational?
  • 27. How to deliver on these Principles: a two-tiered approach Agreement on a few salient global priorities=G Goals Global dashboard with a nucleus of targets and indicators for each agreed Goal: • Define a set of official targets and indicators under each Global Goal • Countries can determine which they sign up to
  • 28. National Specificity In addition • Countries can define additional targets and/or indicators
  • 29. National Specificity • Each country sets its own quantitative benchmarks and baselines 2015 2015
  • 30. What the dashboard could look like: Criteria for setting targets and indicators • Reflect a spectrum of progress at least in three dimensions: – Development – Sustainability – Inclusiveness • Dynamic: countries can move to more ambitious deliverables as they achieve given indicators • Measurable: information/data exists or requisite capacity building is within sight Note: some targets will focus on specific issues, others should address interlinkages
  • 31. Convergence in a Single Set of Goals Delivers • An agenda of wellbeing beyond minimums • Sustianbility for long-term human progress within planetary boundaries • Irreversibility of the gains achieved • MDGs are conserved • Overcomes the false poverty-sustainability divide • Avoids fragmentation of efforts at national and international levels • A universally relevant agenda sensitive to local specificities throught differentiation
  • 32. The Task Ahead Our task is to come up with a framework and tools that are as effective as the MDGs were to enable us, as a global community, to tackle the great development challenges of our times. Minister María Angela Holguín Thank you
