- Abstract
- The United Nations (UN)-led global consultations on new development goals,
which will replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), started in 2012.

Yet, actual decision-making on the new set of goals remains state-centred. The main challenge for UN member states, as they negotiate the new goals, is to do justice to the diverse input obtained through the consultations. Civil society views on their degree of impact through
policy dialogues with UN bodies are quite sceptical. However, prospects for the implementation of new goals are higher if they gain broad legitimacy. (Less)
