The UN
Summit to adopt the post-2015 development agenda was mandated by the UN General
Assembly on 25 September 2013 (Resolution 68/6). The Summit will take place on
25-27 September 2015, and will be convened as a high-level plenary meeting of
the General Assembly, per Resolution 69/244 of December 2014. In February 2015,
UNGA President Sam Kutesa proposed adjusting the beginning of the Summit from 9
am to 11 am on 25 September, to allow for an address by His Holiness Pope
Francis.
