The latest United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development held in Rio
de Janeiro (Rio+20) has shown that social development still lags behind economic
progress, and that our measurement of sustainable development needs
to advance beyond the quantitative. The purpose of the HLP is to discuss the
results of Rio+20 and assess to what extend the lessons learnt from European
Development Days could be integrated into a single unified development
agenda for all countries after 2015. The HLP will assess what contribution the
EU can make to the process leading to the adoption of universal Sustainable
Development Goals and the post-2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDG)
landscape.
