Montreal—29 October 2012

In the context of the broader Post-2015 processes, the Baha'i International Community brought together representatives of UN and civil society organizations to explore themes such as the vision of human prosperity, systems of community empowerment, processes of education, and the structure of global institutions. Participants from UNICEF, INTRAC, International Movement ATD Fourth World, CAFOD, CIVICUS, the Asian Development Bank,   Stakeholder Forum and other organizations considered ways in which moral and ethical considerations could be articulated in the Post-2015 development agenda (notes). A working paper initiated by the Baha'i International Community’s UN Office was offered to stimulate thinking about these issues. The exploratory discussion took place on 5 September 2012 during the CIVICUS World Assembly Conference 2012.
