World bosses   is going to join at UN on September 25 

World leaders will gather at the United Nations on September 25 to adopt the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a shared to-do list for a better world created with the input of citizens from countries around the globe.

Slated to be one of the largest ever gatherings at the UN, over 160 Heads of State and Government, together with leaders of civil society and the private sector, are expected to attend the summit to formally adopt the outcome document of the new agenda.

Diplomatic sources said this bold and ambitious agenda aims to end poverty and promote prosperity and people's well-being while protecting the environment over the next 15 years.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is expected to leave here for New York on September 23 to attend and address the UN Sustainable Development Summit, which represents a key milestone in this year of global action.

The world leaders in the SDGs summit will be taking an in-depth look at the first goal: “End poverty in all its forms everywhere by 2030.”

On September 25, countries will have the opportunity to adopt a set of global goals to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda. Each goal has specific targets to be achieved over the next 15 years.

According to UN sources, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) -- the predecessors to today's goals -- mobilised the world to act. Since 1990, more than 1 billion people have been lifted out of extreme poverty, cutting it in half worldwide.

There are still 836 million people around the world living in extreme poverty, with one in five in developing regions living on less than $1.35 per day, the sources said.

2015 is the year when countries will shape and adopt a new development agenda that will be built on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The MDGs were established in the year 2000 and include eight anti-poverty targets to be accomplished by 2015.

Since then, enormous progress has been made towards achieving the MDGs: Global poverty continues to decline, more children than ever are attending primary school, child deaths have dropped dramatically, access to safe drinking water has been greatly expanded, and targeted investments in fighting malaria, AIDS and tuberculosis have saved millions.

“In 2015, ending poverty isn't some idealistic dream. We've seen global goals work, and we're taking the new goals even further to address the root causes of poverty. We have the means and experience to finish this fight -- but only if people everywhere understand how close we are,” said Susan Myers, senior vice-president of United Nations Foundation.

1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere
