Countdown to 2015: Millennium Development Goals

Amy Burchfield, Access & Faculty Services Librarian amy.burchfield@law.csuohio.edu | May 30, 2008 - 11:07

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are 8 goals established in 2000 that United Nations member states have agreed to try to reach by the year 2015. The 8 goals, embodied in the United Nations Millennium Declaration, are:

  • Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
  • Achieve universal primary education
  • Promote gender equality and empower women
  • Reduce child mortality
  • Improve maternal health
  • Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases
  • Ensure environmental sustainability
  • Develop a global partnership for development

To see how member states are doing in reaching these goals, check out the MDG Monitor. As a starting point for finding out if individual countries have enacted legislation that relate to the topics of the MDGs, try searching the Foreign Law Guide.
