To: Sustainable Development Announcement List <uncsd-l@lists.iisd.ca>


Dear Colleagues,

 
SDSN's draft report Indicators for Sustainable Development Goals is currently open for public consultation. The report presents a framework of 100 indicators for post-2015, based on the 10 goals and 30 targets presented in the Action Agenda for Sustainable Development. This report is at an early stage. We seek your help with comments and creativity to improve and complete the proposed indicator framework.
 
The public consultation of the report will close on March 14. Full details on submissions are available here. Please use the comment form and send it by email to info@unsdsn.org. Please focus your comments on the proposed indicators, as the goals and targets have already undergone an extensive public consultation. We propose to keep the total number of core indicators to no more than 100, so any addition of new indicators will need to be matched by cuts elsewhere.
 
We encourage readers to also discuss the report on Twitter, referencing #indicators2015, although the Twitter feed is not a substitute for sending in written comments using the comment form. 

After the end of the public consultation we will make all submissions publicly available on our website, unless submissions are marked as confidential. As with the Action Agenda, we will publish a brief synthesis of the comments received (the synthesis of comments on the Action Agenda is available here). 
 
Thank you very much for your help in improving the draft report.

(Photo : Getty Images ) Medical experts and nutritionists have long acknowledged that fruits and vegetables contain anticancer properties. Mother Nature seemingly holds another key for cancer prevention and treatment . Chinese scientists learned that 57 kinds of medicinal plants commonly used in creating traditional Chinese medicine have anticancer components, reported Xinhua. Dai Shaoxing from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Beijing, however, said that additional research should be conducted to determine their full potential to cure cancer. The fruit of the medicinal plant Siraitia grosvenorii , for one, contains mogrosides, whose extract--the natural compound mogroside V--was tested for its antitumor effect and its probable capability to treat pancreatic cancer, accor...
