WHAT KIND OF FUTURE WILL 2015 BRING?
The international landscape of 2015 is marked by the crucial multilateral processes. Since the new development landscape is being discussed, this year is also vital for international development cooperation. In March, world leaders met at the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan. At the Third International Conference on Financing for Development, held in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia in July, means of implementation of the future development goals were discussed. New set of development goals, called Sustainable Development Goals will be adopted at the UN Summit to Adopt the Post-2015 Development Agenda in New York in September. Climate change agenda will be addressed at the 2015 Paris Climate Conference in December.
In the light of those processes, the European Union decided to mark 2015 as the European Year for Development 2015 with the aim to promote debate about international development cooperation. International agreements made this year, especially the post-2015 development agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals, will address global challenges for the next 15 years.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
After the Rio+20 Conference in 2012 some enormously important outcomes have been presented to the world - they are called sustainable development goals. Their purpose is to build upon the Millennium Development Goals and converge with the post 2015 development agenda. It was decided to establish an "inclusive and transparent intergovernmental process open to all stakeholders, with a view to developing global sustainable development goals to be agreed by the General Assembly".
It was further agreed that sustainable development goals must be action-oriented, concise, easy tocommunicate, limited in number, aspirational, global in nature and universally applicable to all countrues while taking into account different national realities, capacities and levels of development and respecting national policies and priorities.
The sustainable develoment goals, that should be raccomplished until 2030, are listed below.
