What role will global governance play for the international community to be able to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development? This will be in focus for a live on 15 March from 1:15 pm to 2:15 pm EST, when members of the Committee for Development Policy (CDP), José Antonio Ocampo, José Antonio Alonso and Keun Lee, will be on hand to discuss with the online community, their and publication, “Global Governance and Rules for the Post-2015 Era”.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a global agenda of unprecedented scope and significance. Alongside continuing development priorities such as poverty eradication, health, education and food security and nutrition, the Agenda sets out a wide range of economic, social and environmental objectives.

These emerging issues and trends demand concerted responses and international efforts, which will have to be framed by new rules and more democratic and inclusive mechanisms of global governance.

The new publication, “Global Governance and Rules for the Post-2015 Era,” provides a unique assessment of global rules and governance; reflects on how global rules have been shaping development experiences and outcomes; identifies the shortcomings of current global governance mechanisms; and offers innovative suggestions for reforming and improving them.

During the Facebook chat on 15 March (from 1:15 to 2:15 pm EST), which takes place on the sidelines of this year’s CDP plenary, CDP members will be on hand to share their findings and recommendations, offering an opportunity for those following or interested in this topic to discuss governance issues.

How should for example global governance address labour mobility, new rules for science and technology for sustainable development and reform of the international monetary and financial architecture?
