2. Overview of the post-MDGs and SDGs process (Ivana)
OWGs- framework on SDGs
The United Nations General Assembly has established an Open Working Group (OWG) that will focus on the design of a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to promote global prosperity, reduce poverty and advance social equity and environmental protection. The group will develop modalities to ensure the full involvement of relevant stakeholders and expertise from civil society and the United Nations System in its work. Even though GA was supposed to constitute the OWG for the SDGs by September 2012, it is only now that the GA has finally agreed upon its membership composition as designated by the five regional groups. The membership list specifies 70 countries which will hold 30 seats, with many seats hold two, three or four countries of the same region. The list of countries can be found here:https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2zP2Hebc3H9RkRoZlU5dkJFVlE/edit?usp=sharingThe OWG's co-chairs, work program and modalities have yet to be decided. The first meeting of the OWG will take place on 28th of February in NYC and each Major Groups will have an opportunity for 1-2 min intervention and possibly one common statement.
