It also requires international cooperation to ensure investment in infrastructure and technology to improve agricultural productivity. This involves promoting sustainable agricultural, supporting small-scale farmers and equal access to land, technology and markets. The SDGs aim to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition by 2030, making sure all people–especially children–have sufficient and nutritious food all year. Undernourishment and severe food insecurity appear to be increasing in almost all regions of Africa, as well as in South America. Over 90 million children under five are dangerously underweight. There are 821 million people estimated to be chronically undernourished as of 2017, often as a direct consequence of environmental degradation, drought and biodiversity loss. Unfortunately, extreme hunger and malnutrition remain a huge barrier to development in many countries. Central and East Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean have all made huge progress in eradicating extreme hunger. Many developing countries that used to suffer from famine and hunger can now meet their nutritional needs. The number of undernourished people has dropped by almost half in the past two decades because of rapid economic growth and increased agricultural productivity. 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.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.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.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.Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable.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.This involves targeting the most vulnerable, increasing basic resources and services, and supporting communities affected by conflict and climate-related disasters. The SDGs are a bold commitment to finish what we started, and end poverty in all forms and dimensions by 2030. New threats brought on by climate change, conflict and food insecurity, mean even more work is needed to bring people out of poverty. Progress has also been limited in other regions, such as South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, which account for 80 percent of those living in extreme poverty. Women are more likely to be poor than men because they have less paid work, education, and own less property. Rapid growth in countries such as China and India has lifted millions out of poverty, but progress has been uneven. While the number of people living in extreme poverty dropped by more than half between 19, too many are still struggling for the most basic human needs.Īs of 2015, about 736 million people still lived on less than US$1.90 a day many lack food, clean drinking water and sanitation.
Eradicating poverty in all its forms remains one of the greatest challenges facing humanity.
