One of the foremost items on the agenda will be the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the successors to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), a set of global targets ending in 2015. One of the main MDGs was to reduce the global mortality rate of children under five-years-old by two-thirds from its 1990 level of 91 deaths per 1,000 live births, to 30 in 2015. The subsequent SDG is to reduce this still further, to 25 deaths by 2030.
Even a below-target 50% fall in the mortality rate means a huge number of lives saved. In 1990, almost 13m children globally died before their fifth birthday; now a further 6.8m children a year are living to see it.
