Undoubtedly, 2015 will be remembered more for world events the Ebola crisis, the migrant crisis, the challenges of climate change, war in the Middle East and terror at home than for its designation as European Year of Development. However, the Sustainable Development Goals agreed in September include many measures that both recognise and attempt to mitigate the causes of the current crises. EYD2015 focused on a different development theme each month, a structure allowing for emphasis to be placed on some of the more pressing specific policy areas. Renewing the current models of European development and humanitarian aid against the background of emerging crises may have concentrated minds on the urgency of the actions to take.
