SDGs Prosperity

The pursuit of prosperity is a central priority in the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
It seeks to ensure that wealth is shared, while income inequality is dealt with through economic
growth that is sustainable and inclusive, generating decent work for all. According to the 4P
division, Prosperity includes 5 goals: SDG 1 and SDGs 8 through 11. For each of the 5 goals, this
chapter explains what it is, what we are trying to achieve, and where we currently stand.

SDG 1: No Poverty

SDG 1 focuses on eliminating poverty in all its forms around the globe. Although the number of
people living in extreme poverty has more than halved from 1.9 billion in 1990 to around 667
million in 2022, the number of people struggling to meet the most basic human needs is still too
high. Goal 1 recognizes poverty as a multidimensional concept and studies a whole range of
factors that lead to poverty and impaired quality of life. Being guided by a holistic approach makes
it possible to address this problem more comprehensively. This subchapter provides an overview
of 7 targets that are a part of this goal and provides insight into where we are regarding various

aspects of poverty.
● Targets, means of implementation and data

The first goal reads: “End poverty in all its forms everywhere“, and is supported by seven targets
as follows:
1.1 By 2030, eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere, currently measured as people

living on less than $1.25 a day
1.2 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

1.3 Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including
floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable
1.4 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

1.5 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
1.a 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 programs and policies
to end poverty in all its dimensions
