SDG 1: No Poverty
Goal 1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere
Poverty should not be a defining factor in anyone's life. However, with the ongoing crises, setback consequences resulting from COVID-19 pandemic, and a series of major shocks during 2020-22, many regions lack the fiscal capacity to cope with economic stresses. The recovery has been uneven, with low-income countries staying behind. This is why the world is more than ever in need of coordinated efforts, contributing to overcoming these disparities.
SDG 1 seeks to address this necessity and ensure reliable access to food, clean water, and shelter for everyone. The overall objective is to eradicate extreme poverty by 2030.
SDG's targets
Target 1.1: By 2030, eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere, currently measured as people living on less than $1.25 a day.
Target 1.2: By 2030, reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions.
Target 1.3: Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable.
Target 1.4: By 2030, ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and the vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to basic services, ownership and control over land and other forms of property, inheritance, natural resources, appropriate new technology and financial services, including microfinance.
Target 1.5: By 2030, build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters.
