Goal 6: Universal access to treatment for Aids/HIV by 2010 and combat the spread of HIV/Aids and malaria by 2015.
Progress: New HIV cases declined 10 per cent from three million a year in 2001 to 2.7 million in 2007. Funding increased tenfold within a decade. Mosquito net production rose from 30 million in 2004 to 95 million in 2007.
Success/failure: 7,500 people a day are infected with HIV; 5,500 die of Aids-related illness; 500 million new cases of malaria a year.
Goal 7: Reduce the loss of biodiversity by 2010 and halve the number of people without access to safe water or sanitation by 2015.
Progress: Deforestation has declined to 7.3 million hectares a year; 1.6 billion people have gained access to drinking water since 1990.
Success/failure: 40 per cent of the world lives with water scarcity, and fish stocks are overexploited. One billion people still have no access to safe drinking water and 2.5 billion have no access to basic sanitation, yet the target may still be achieved by 2015.
Goal 8: Create global partnerships for development and to work together to tackle poverty.
Progress The UK is among the few governments to meet targets of giving 0.15 per cent of gross national income in overseas aid. The burden of debt in developing countries fell from 13 per cent of exports in 2000 to 7 per cent in 2006.
Success/failure: International aid dropped from £67bn in 2005 to £64bn in 2007, but needs to increase by £18bn a year to meet the goal. A third of essential medicines are now available in 30 developing countries.
