Statement by the Chair of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, Professor Megan Davis

In September, countries will have the opportunity to adopt a set of global goals to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all.

The present report is submitted pursuant to General Assembly resolution 69/146, entitled “Follow-up to the Second World Assembly on Ageing”. As Member States have turned their attention to the elaboration of a new development agenda beyond 2015 with the drafting of the sustainable development goals, the Assembly recognized in resolution 69/146 that there was a “continuing need to give due consideration to the situation of older persons in the ongoing discussion on the post - 2015 development agenda”.

This Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom.

Joan Carling (Philippines), Member of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) attended the final inter-governmental negotiations on the post-2015 development agenda from 20 to 24 July 2014.
