Civil society is invited to join policy makers, government officials, donors, UN staff and all other stakeholders in discussing the scope and priorities of the post-2015 development agenda in the consultation on population dynamics in the post-2015 UN development agenda.
It aims to stimulate dialogue, facilitate an exchange of ideas and collect and document the views, experiences and perspectives of key stakeholders vis-à-vis population dynamics on this forum and provides “an opportunity to contribute to the setting of shared global priorities in the context of ameliorating poverty and inequality, whilst championing universal rights and values”.
Discussion topics
There are three discussion topics at present, to which you are invited to contribute:
- Why and how should population dynamics be integrated into the post-2015 UN development agenda?
- Is it possible to develop a common framework for integrating different population dynamics into the post-2015 development agenda?
- Should we consider expanding targets with respect to individual population issues to include such issues as high fertility, demographic bonus, ageing, urbanization, or migration? What would be the disadvantage of broadening the set of targets?
