Good chance to get an ambitious set of goals supporting LCDS

Universality of the goals, the combination of development and ecological issues, and the participatory process are big steps forward.

However, the best set of goals and indicators will be useless without proper Means of Implementation.

Influencing the FfD conference and ensuring civil society participation in the implementation and monitoring of the goals will be crucial.
