SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS sparksdergiingilizce | Page 4

NO
POVERTY
Goal 1: End poverty in all its forms
everywhere
Extreme poverty rates have been cut by more than half since 1990. While this is a
remarkable achievement, one in five people in developing regions still live on less
than $1.90 a day, and there are millions more who make little more than this daily
amount, plus many people risk slipping back into poverty.
Poverty is more than the lack of income and resources to ensure a sustainable
livelihood. Its manifestations include hunger and malnutrition, limited access to
education and other basic services, social discrimination and exclusion as well as
the lack of participation in decision- making. Economic growth must be inclusive to
provide sustainable jobs and promote equality.
