What are two of the formal efforts by the UN to address the problems in the global South? What do these efforts seek to achieve specifically? How successful have they been so far?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Identify the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as two formal UN efforts.
2. Explain what each effort seeks to achieve. For example, the MDGs aimed to cut in half the proportion of the world's population living in "extreme poverty," and the SDGs cover a wide range of subjects including poverty, hunger, education, affordable energy, reduced inequality, climate change, and economic growth.
3. Discuss whether these efforts have been successful. For instance, students might argue that the MDGs were somewhat successful since 2 billion people have gained access to improved drinking water, but over 800 million remain hungry around the world.
4. Offer a concise summary and effective conclusion.
