The document summarizes a lecture on "Beyond 2015: Getting Serious about Global Justice" given by Professor Thomas Pogge. Pogge argues that while the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) brought attention to global poverty, their impact was limited by a lack of clear responsibilities. He proposes replacing the MDG approach with specific institutional reform goals for 2015 and beyond that highlight responsibilities for wealthy countries in areas like tax justice, illicit financial flows, odious debts, arms exports, greenhouse gas emissions, and ensuring access to life-saving medicines. The event was hosted by the K?te Hamburger Kolleg/Centre for Global Cooperation Research in Duisburg, Germany.
