Environment, Climate Change and the MDGs: Reshaping the Development Agenda

On 25 September 2008, world leaders will convene at UN Headquarters in New York to review progress on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). They will identify gaps, and commit to concrete efforts, resources and mechanisms to bridge the gaps.

With the aim of ensuring that this High-level Event gives adequate priority to the critical role of improved environmental management in efforts to achieve the MDGs, the OECD co-organized a

Policy Dialogue on Environment, Climate Change and the MDGs: Reshaping the Development Agenda, on 23 September 2008 in New York.

Richard Carey, Director of the OECD Development Co-operation Directorate, participated and addressed the question how sound natural resource management and the integration of climate change adaptation into development co-operation can support pro-poor growth.
