High-Level Panel adopts Bali Communiqué

At the end of their meeting the High-Level Panel adopted the Bali Communiqué, which should be read alongside the Monrovia Communiqué, which includes a reference to sexual and reproductive health. 

The Bali meeting focused particularly on areas such as partnerships, the global environment and sustainable development, and less on social inclusion. The panel did, however, note that the population will peak at 9-10 billion in 2050. It also recognized the need for data availability and better accountability in measuring progress.
