This paper will assess the final outcome document of the Open Working Group (OWG) on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Following a brief history of the process, it evaluates how proposed OWG goals and targets reflect the three pillars of sustainable development, examines to what extent the document serves the overarching transformative development agenda, and assesses the content of the candidate goals and targets with a view to further consolidate the post-2015 framework. This paper identifies areas where there exists further scope to fine-tune the goals and targets, including categorization, numerical figures, accountability, and a conclusive consensus on transformation.
