(UNDP) More than halfway to the 2015 deadline to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), major advances in the fight against poverty and hunger have begun to slow or even reverse as a result of the global economic and food crises, a progress report by the United Nations has found. The assessment, launched by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in Geneva, warns that, despite many successes, overall progress has been too slow for most of the targets to be met by 2015. * Full text of the Report

(EW) Rising up to help turn the tide, EW is pre-planning for The Global Summit 2010, and developing its first online courses to disseminate community building & collaboration tools, including "7 Stages to Sustainability" and collaborative Tele-Summits (seminars) uniting 6 PIE Sectors around key issues including health & the new green economy.

Request Invite for online courses & Tele-Summits - Nov. '09.
