1. “The Future We Want”, the outcomes of Rio+20 and the post-2015 agenda

2. 5 cross-cutting issues Integration Role of MGs and civil society
Communication
Transparency and accountability
“Intelligence” for advocacy and campaigning

3. Integration Integration in several ways: SDGs and MDGs
Some countries (including Brazil) and organizations do not support the idea of integrating the processes for both sets of goals
Separate processes = reduced commitment, reduced accountability and fragmented resources
Go beyong “clichés” and better integrate important issues not much discussed
High level political forum
Should not only guarantee SD agenda is present in different UN organs, but also work on connecting and integrating the activities of such organs

4. Role of MGs and civil society
Next three years bring unique opportunity to redefine MGs and civil society participation
MGs can work on two perspectives:
Improve/reform their own space inside the UN system
Work on amplifying means of consultation and participation of broad civil society
Many important actors are not (and will hardly be) engaged with the MGs
Need to listen to grassroots
Need to look at innovations being developed at grassroots level
Success depends on listening to and engaging with civil society in a broad and effective way

5. Communication
Communication as a key issue for mobilization and engagement
Need to frame adequately the pathway towards and beyond
Evaluate how helpful it is to keep Rio+20 as a strong reference in our communication
Focus on the “positive agenda”
Many key actors related to the MDGs were not connected to Rio+20 and are still not connected to the post-2015 debates
Many actors simply don't understand the process or don't believe that the UN can generate relevant outcomes

6. Transparency and accountability
In 2 ways:
Important information is not available (to the majority of people, at least)
What are the details and updated information on the group of 30 countries that will work on the SDGs?
What will happen with UNEP?
Does the UN have a clear and detailed roadmap between here and 2015?
Specifically on the new MDGs and SDGs: they must come with strong mechanisms for transparency and accountability at multilateral, national and local level

7. “Intelligence” for advocacy and campaigning
Once we know who's in the “SDGs G-30”, we will be able to draw a map of who are the key actors on the road to 2015
It would be very helpful to have a structured collective plan to gather and share information
Actors from the countries of decision-makers will be key
What's going on outside the UN?

8. Thanks!
