Sustainable Development Goal 1: No Poverty

What is SDG 1?

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 1 is dedicated to ending poverty in all its forms everywhere. The United Nations aims to eradicate extreme poverty, reduce the proportion of people living in poverty, and ensure equal access to resources and services for all.
The United Nations’ Objective

The United Nations envisions a world where everyone, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to live a dignified life without facing extreme poverty. SDG 1 addresses the need for comprehensive strategies to alleviate poverty, including social protection systems, access to basic services, and sustainable livelihoods.
