No Poverty
Goal 1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere.
Eradicating poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice and the key to unlocking an enormous human potential. Still, nearly half of the world’s population lives in poverty, and lack of food and clean water is killing thousands every single day of the year. Together, we can feed the hungry, wipe out disease and give everyone in the world a chance to prosper and live a productive and rich life.
Targets
- Eradicate Extreme Poverty
- Reduce Poverty by at Least 50%
- Implement Social Protection Systems
- Equal Rights to Ownership, Basic Services, Technology and Economic Resources
- Build Resilience to Environmental, Economic and Social Disasters
- Mobilize Resources to Implement Policies to End Poverty
