What are the SDGs and why are they important?

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are also known as the Global Goals. The United Nations adopted them in 2015 as a universal call to action 'to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity'.

SDG 1 is the first of 17 goals set by the United Nations to create greater equality across the world while protecting the environment. Sustainable Development aims to support people and the planet.

What are the goal 1 targets?

Each of the goals has specific targets that could achieve radical change in the world by 2030. In the case of goal 1, the targets are: Eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere, currently measured as people living on less than $1.25 a day 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 Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable 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 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 Ensure significant mobilization of resources from a variety of sources, including through enhanced development cooperation, in order to provide adequate and predictable means for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, to implement programmes and policies to end poverty in all its dimensions Create sound policy frameworks at the national, regional and international levels, based on pro-poor and gender-sensitive development strategies, to support accelerated investment in poverty eradication actions.
