Goal 1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere

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.

    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, 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

    In signing Agenda 2030, governments around the world committed to ending poverty in all its manifestations, including its most extreme forms, over the next 15 years. They resolved that all people, everywhere, should enjoy a basic standard of living.

    This includes social protection benefits for the poor and most vulnerable and ensuring that people harmed by conflict and natural hazards receive adequate support, including access to basic services.

    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

    Poverty is one of the key areas of WACC’s mission to support and advance communication rights. For instance, media reporting on rural poverty is one of the areas where WACC supports small communications projects,” said WACC General Secretary, Rev Dr Karin Achtelstetter.

    The international poverty line is currently defined as 1.90 US dollars per person per day using 2011 purchasing power parity (PPP). In the decade from 2002 to 2012, the proportion of the global population living below the poverty line dropped by half, from 26 to 13 per cent. If economic growth rates observed during those 10 years prevail for the next 15, the global rate for extreme poverty will likely fall to 4 per cent by 2030, assuming that growth benefits all income groups equally

    In April, the Development Committee of the World Bank set the goal of ending extreme poverty by the year 2030. More recently, the United NationsGeneral Assembly working group on global goals concluded that “eradicating poverty in a generation is an ambitious but feasible goal.” Ours is the generation that could end extreme poverty.

    In a world of plenty, 1 billion people are so poor, their lives are in danger. October 17 is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. There has been much progress toward this important milestone: the World Bank Group’s latest numbers show that since 1990 nearly 1.1 billion people have escaped extreme poverty. Between 2012 and 2013 alone, around 100 million people moved out of extreme poverty. That’s around a quarter of a million people every day.

    ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
    Sustainability focusses on equal economic growth, that generates wealth for all, without harming the environment.

    Investment and an equal distribution of the economic resources will strengthen the other pillars of sustainability for a complete development.

Energy is the dominant contributor to climate change, accounting for around 60 per cent of total global greenhouse gas emissions.Reducing the carbon intensity of energy is a key objective in long-term climate goals.

Goal 8: Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all                      Roughly half the world’s population still lives on the equivalent of about US$2 a day. And in too many places, having a job doesn’t guarantee the ability to escape from poverty. This slow and uneven progress requires us to rethink and retool our economic and social policies aimed at eradicating poverty.Sustainable economic growth will require societies to create the conditions that allow people to have quality jobs that stimulate the economy while not harming the environment. Job opportunities and decent working conditions are also required for the whole working age population.

Goal 6: Ensure access to water and sanitation for all Clean, accessible water for all is an essential part of the world we want to live in. There is sufficient fresh water on the planet to achieve this. But due to bad economics or poor infrastructure, every year millions of people, most of them children, die from diseases associated with inadequate water supply, sanitation and hygiene.Water scarcity, poor water quality and inadequate sanitation negatively impact food security, livelihood choices and educational opportunities for poor families across the world. Drought afflicts some of the world’s poorest countries, worsening hunger and malnutrition. By 2050, at least one in four people is likely to live in a country affected by chronic or recurring shortages of fresh water.
