"The Third International Conference on Financing for Development next week will be the first of three major global events taking place this year, followed by the September summit in New York for the adoption of a new set of sustainable development goals and a conference in Paris in December to reach a universal climate change agreement," said Wu Hongbo, who is the UN Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs. "These"events will shape international cooperation for years to come," Mr. Wu told reporters at UN Headquarters in New York, and the conference, which will run from 13 to 16 July, will set a framework for financing sustainable development over the next 15 years.
