United Nations Millennium Development Goals Summit

A decade ago, world leaders created a list of eight extraordinary to-dos by 2015, among them, "eradicate extreme poverty" and "achieve universal primary education." Feasibility remains an open question. Standout gains in one country are often overshadowed by losses overall: Nicaragua has reduced its hunger rate by more than half, yet the number of hungry people globally rose more than 20% in the past 20 years. With this New York summit, UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon pushes forward, warning in June, "If we fail, the dangers of the world ... will all be multiplied." -- JENNIFER VILAGA
