Introduction

“Post-2015” sounds like a very technical term. We decided to fill it with life and show the ideas behind it, the community projects, the big and the small picture, and, most importantly, the people shaping it.

Vision

Progress begins with imagination. But visions differ – they are based on hopes and fears alike, and often generate new impulses for development.

Partnership

Partnership is one of mankind’s oldest concepts– yet it is still (re)invented again and again. Are we moving towards a more diverse and horizontal form of cooperation?

Participation

The post-2015 process has seen a new level of local, national and global participation – young and old, experts, citizens, farmers, politicians. Read about experiences, successes and shortcomings.

Interest

As more actors become involved in a process, the variety of interests expands too. It is hard to keep that many balls in the air. Some groups are more convincing, have a better lobby, while others experience problems being heard and seen.

Implementation

After consultation, negotiation and formulation comes… implementation. This seems like the hardest part. We have collected examples and ideas of how implementation does or could work.
