Summary of SDG 1 No Poverty

The first goal aims to eradicate poverty in all its forms. Over 700 million people still live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than $1.90 per day. The SDG targets focus on ensuring equal access to resources, economic growth, and building resilience to climate-related and social disasters, particularly for vulnerable groups like women and children. It calls for universal social protection systems and sustainable livelihoods to eliminate poverty.
