Future“Looking ahead to 2015 and beyond, there is no question that we can achieve the overarching goal: we can put an end to poverty…But it requires an unswerving, collective, long-term effort. Time has been lost. We have wasted opportunities and face additional challenges, making the task ahead more difficult. It is now our responsibility to make up lost ground – and to put all countries, together, firmly on track towards a more prosperous, sustainable and equitable world.”
