The Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development gave recommendations for developing Sustainable Development Goals to replace the soon-to-expire Millennium Development Goals. 2013 will be a critical year for the formation of these new goals and planning for the 20th anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development. What role do population dynamics and reproductive health rights play in sustainable development? And to what extent should they be included in new development frameworks? John May of Population Reference Bureau, Kelly Castagnaro of the International Planned Parenthood Federation Western Hemisphere Region, and Beth Schlacter of the Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration discuss the importance of sexual and reproductive health, sexual rights, and reproductive rights in the new development framework.
