united Nations Millennium Development Goals

In the lead-up to Rio+20 , the 2012 World Water Day emphasized the importance of universal access to water to all to end famine, drought and political instability. It also marked the achievement of MDG target 7.c (halving the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water) making it amongst the first MDG targets to be met, well in advance of the 2015 deadline. On the occasion of International Women’s Day UN officials such as UN Secretary-General , or Michelle Bachelet , head of UN Women , stressed that women’s participation in all aspects of society was more important than ever, as witnessed last year in the context of the global economic crisis, political transitions in the Arab world and elsewhere, and environmental disasters.
