A growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), the rising prevalence of disability, and changing global population demographics (including rapidly ageing populations) together pose some of the greatest challenges to sustainable development in the 21st century. These issues impact on quality of life, diminish human dignity, negate human rights, and threaten to reverse the gains made towards creating and sustaining equitable, healthy human development.The determination of the post-2015 development agenda affords an opportunity to ensure a future framework that fully integrates NCDs, that goals and targets drive progress for all people including persons with disabilities, and that a lifecourse and rights-based approach underpins all goals and targets to ensure no one is left behind. Produced in collaboration with Handicap International, HelpAge International, and ADI. (2013)
