The central messages of the Global Monitoring
Report 2008 are clear: urgent action is needed to help the world meet the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015; and urgent action is also
needed to combat climate change that threatens the well-being of all countries,
but particularly of poor countries and poor people. The goals of development
and environmental sustainability are closely related, and the paths to
those goals have many synergies.
To expedite and broaden progress toward
the MDGs, and to ensure the sustainability of that progress, the report
proposes a sixpoint agenda for inclusive and sustainable development:
1. Sustain and broaden the growth momentum;
2. Achieve better results in human development;
3. Integrate development and environmental
sustainability;
4. Scale up aid and increase its effectiveness;
5. Harness trade for strong, inclusive,
and sustainable growth;
6. Leverage IFI support for inclusive
and sustainable development.
