Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) One aims to eradicate poverty in all its forms, one of humanity’s greatest challenges. Poverty forces individuals to make difficult choices and can result in poor quality of life outcomes including: food insecurity, inadequate housing, poor health, lack of access to services, social exclusion and other hardships.
By 2030, SDG 1 aims to: eradicate extreme poverty, reduce poverty by at least 50%, implement social protection systems, ensure equal rights to ownership, basic services, technology and economic resources, and build resilience to environmental, economic and social disasters.
