The promise of a new global agenda

Abstract

Fluid Thoughts Global agendas have all had their successes and failures. The latter may have been dominant, but it is difficult to ignore such feats as all UN countries joining hands to effectively ban ozone-depleting substances, in particular CFCs, and actively reversing the ozone layer depletion. More recently, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), in spite of having an extended lag phase has managed to dominate the global development agenda. The progress with the MDGs, across the world, including those regions that have fallen substantially short of the targets, like Sub-Saharan Africa are encouraging nevertheless.
