Notes
1 The High Level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda was convened by the UN Secretary General to stimulate thinking by the international community about the post-2015 international development framework. Its final report ‘A New Global Partnership’ was published in May 2013. Since then the Open Working Group, composed of member states, has been conducting a series of consultations following from the 2012 Rio di Janeiro Earth Summit ( < http://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/owg.html>). Both may inform the formal negotiation process, which begins after the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) 2014.
