End poverty in all its
forms everywhere

End extreme poverty in all forms by 2030. Yes, it’s an ambitious
goal— but we believe it can be done. In 2000, the world commit-
ted to cutting the number of people living in extreme poverty by
half in 15 years and we met this goal.
However, more than 800 million people around the world still
live on less than $1.25 a day—that’s about the equivalent of the
entire population of Europe living in extreme poverty. Now it’s
time to build on what we learned and end poverty altogether.
