While the number of people living in extreme poverty dropped by more than half between 1990 and 2015, too many are still struggling for the most basic human needs.</p> <p>As of 2015, about 736 million people still lived on less than US$1.90 a day; many lack food, clean drinking water and sanitation. Rapid growth in countries such as China and India has lifted millions out of poverty, but progress has been uneven. Women are more likely to be poor than men because they have less paid work, education, and own less property.</p> <p>Progress has also been limited in other regions, such as South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, which account for 80 percent of those living in extreme poverty. New threats brought on by climate change, conflict and food insecurity, mean even more work is needed to bring people out of poverty.</p> <p>The SDGs are a bold commitment to finish what we started, and end poverty in all forms and dimensions by 2030. This involves targeting the most vulnerable, increasing basic resources and services, and supporting communities affected by conflict and climate-related disasters.</p> </div> </div> <div

of undernourished people has dropped by almost half in the past two decades because of rapid economic growth and increased agricultural productivity. Many developing countries that used to suffer from famine and hunger can now meet their nutritional needs. Central and East Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean have all made huge progress in eradicating extreme hunger.</p> <p>Unfortunately, extreme hunger and malnutrition remain a huge barrier to development in many countries. There are 821 million people estimated to be chronically undernourished as of 2017, often as a direct consequence of environmental degradation, drought and biodiversity loss. Over 90 million children under five are dangerously underweight. Undernourishment and severe food insecurity appear to be increasing in almost all regions of Africa, as well as in South America.</p> <p>The SDGs aim to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition by 2030, making sure all people–especially children–have sufficient and nutritious food all year. This involves promoting sustainable agricultural, supporting small-scale farmers and equal access to land, technology and markets. It also requires international cooperation to ensure investment in infrastructure and technology to improve agricultural productivity.</p> </div> </div> <div class="coh-column coh-visible-xs

Life expectancy has increased dramatically; infant and maternal mortality rates have declined, we’ve turned the tide on HIV and malaria deaths have halved.</p> <p>Good health is essential to sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda reflects the complexity and interconnectedness of the two. It takes into account widening economic and social inequalities, rapid urbanization, threats to the climate and the environment, the continuing burden of HIV and other infectious diseases, and emerging challenges such as noncommunicable diseases. Universal health coverage will be integral to achieving SDG 3, ending poverty and reducing inequalities. Emerging global health priorities not explicitly included in the SDGs, including antimicrobial resistance, also demand action.</p> <p>But the world is off-track to achieve the health-related SDGs. Progress has been uneven, both between and within countries. There’s a 31-year gap between the countries with the shortest and longest life expectancies. And while some countries have made impressive gains, national averages hide that many are being left behind. Multisectoral, rights-based and gender-sensitive approaches are essential to address inequalities and to build good health for all.</p> </div> </div> <div class="coh-column coh-visible-xs coh-col-xs-12 coh-visible-ps coh-col-ps-12 coh-visible-sm coh-col-sm-6 coh-visible-md coh-col-md-4 coh-visible-lg coh-col-lg-4 coh-visible-xl coh-col-xl-4" > <img src="/sites/g/files/zskgke326/files/styles/sdg_header_304_x_461_/public/2021-04/UNDP-Nepal-healthcare-4123.jpg?itok=NqoU90Vl" width="329" height="499" loading="lazy" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="coh-container ssa-component coh-component ssa-component-instance-c91667e6-58fd-4197-9801-7dc280303a93 coh-component-instance-c91667e6-58fd-4197-9801-7dc280303a93 sdg-stats" > <div class="coh-row coh-row-xl coh-row-visible-xl" data-coh-row-match-heights="{"xl":{"target":"none"}}"> <div class="coh-row-inner"> <div class="coh-column coh-visible-xs coh-col-xs-12 coh-col-xs-push-0 coh-col-xs-pull-0 coh-col-xs-offset-0 coh-visible-ps coh-col-ps-12 coh-visible-sm coh-col-sm-12 coh-visible-md coh-col-md-12 coh-visible-lg coh-col-lg-12 coh-visible-xl coh-col-xl-12" > <h2 class="coh-heading" > </h2> </div> <div class="coh-column coh-col-xl coh-col-xl-push-0 coh-col-xl-pull-0 coh-col-xl-offset-0" > <div class="coh-container stats-slider" data-swiper-slides-view-mobile="1" data-swiper-slides-view-tablet="auto" data-swiper-slides-view-desktop="auto" data-swiper-offset="50" > <div class="coh-inline-element swiper-scrollbar"> <div class="coh-inline-element swiper-scrollbar-drag"></div> </div> <div class="coh-inline-element swiper-wrapper "> <div class="coh-inline-element ssa-component coh-component ssa-component-instance-bd7a25f2-f8f0-430f-804e-514b219907af coh-component-instance-bd7a25f2-f8f0-430f-804e-514b219907af swiper-slide"> <div class="coh-inline-element stats-card medium "> <div class="coh-inline-element"> <div class="coh-inline-element"> <h2 class="coh-heading" > 400 </h2> </div> </div> <div class="coh-inline-element"><h4 class="coh-heading" > million </h4> <p class="coh-paragraph" >At least 400 million people have no basic healthcare, and 40 percent lack social protection.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="coh-inline-element ssa-component coh-component ssa-component-instance-309b7840-464e-46aa-af8d-c3f9a3a9b1ae coh-component-instance-309b7840-464e-46aa-af8d-c3f9a3a9b1ae swiper-slide"> <div class="coh-inline-element stats-card medium "> <div class="coh-inline-element"> <div class="coh-inline-element"> <h2 class="coh-heading" > 1.6 </h2> </div> </div> <div class="coh-inline-element"><h4 class="coh-heading" > billion </h4> <p class="coh-paragraph" >More than 1.6 billion people live in fragile settings where protracted crises, combined with weak national capacity to deliver basic health services, present a significant challenge to global health.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="coh-inline-element ssa-component coh-component ssa-component-instance-90afe8df-001b-443c-b1d0-69f43d81f86e coh-component-instance-90afe8df-001b-443c-b1d0-69f43d81f86e swiper-slide"> <div class="coh-inline-element stats-card medium "> <div class="coh-inline-element"> <div class="coh-inline-element"> <h2 class="coh-heading" > 15 </h2> </div> </div> <div class="coh-inline-element"><h4 class="coh-heading" > million </h4> <p class="coh-paragraph" >By the end of 2017, 21.7 million people living with HIV were receiving antiretroviral therapy.

there has been enormous progress in achieving the target of universal primary education. The total enrollment rate in developing regions reached 91 percent in 2015, and the worldwide number of children out of school has dropped by almost half. There has also been a dramatic increase in literacy rates, and many more girls are in school than ever before. These are all remarkable successes.</p> <p>Progress has also been tough in some developing regions due to high levels of poverty, armed conflicts and other emergencies. In Western Asia and North Africa, ongoing armed conflict has seen an increase in the number of children out of school. This is a worrying trend. While Sub-Saharan Africa made the greatest progress in primary school enrollment among all developing regions – from 52 percent in 1990, up to 78 percent in 2012 – large disparities still remain. Children from the poorest households are up to four times more likely to be out of school than those of the richest households. Disparities between rural and urban areas also remain high.</p> <p>Achieving inclusive and quality education for all reaffirms the belief that education is one of the most powerful and proven vehicles for sustainable development. This goal ensures that all girls and boys complete free primary and secondary schooling by 2030. It also aims to provide equal access to affordable vocational training, to eliminate gender and wealth disparities, and achieve universal access to a quality higher education.</p> </div> </div> <div

discrimination against women and girls is not only a basic human right, it’s crucial for sustainable future; it’s proven that empowering women and girls helps economic growth and development.</p> <p>UNDP has made gender equality central to its work and we’ve seen remarkable progress in the past 20 years. There are more girls in school now compared to 15 years ago, and most regions have reached gender parity in primary education.</p> <p>But although there are more women than ever in the labour market, there are still large inequalities in some regions, with women systematically denied the same work rights as men. Sexual violence and exploitation, the unequal division of unpaid care and domestic work, and discrimination in public office all remain huge barriers. Climate change and disasters continue to have a disproportionate effect on women and children, as do conflict and migration.</p> <p>It is vital to give women equal rights land and property, sexual and reproductive health, and to technology and the internet. Today there are more women in public office than ever before, but encouraging more women leaders will help achieve greater gender equality.</p> </div> </div> <div class="coh-column coh-visible-xs

In developing countries, the middle class now makes up more than 34 percent of total employment – a number that has almost tripled between 1991 and 2015.</p> <p>However, as the global economy continues to recover we are seeing slower growth, widening inequalities, and not enough jobs to keep up with a growing labour force. According to the International Labour Organization, more than 204 million people were unemployed in 2015.</p> <p>The SDGs promote sustained economic growth, higher levels of productivity and technological innovation. Encouraging entrepreneurship and job creation are key to this, as are effective measures to eradicate forced labour, slavery and human trafficking. With these targets in mind, the goal is to achieve full and productive employment, and decent work, for all women and men by 2030.</p> </div> </div> <div class="coh-column coh-visible-xs coh-col-xs-12 coh-visible-ps coh-col-ps-12 coh-visible-sm coh-col-sm-6 coh-visible-md coh-col-md-4 coh-visible-lg coh-col-lg-4 coh-visible-xl coh-col-xl-4" > <img src="/sites/g/files/zskgke326/files/styles/sdg_header_304_x_461_/public/2021-03/UNDP-Guatemala-2016-beekeeping-women-7-SDG8-2.jpg?itok=Q5UjyA7t" width="329" height="499" loading="lazy" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="coh-container ssa-component coh-component ssa-component-instance-86595366-a5af-4963-9ee2-52ab9f81041b coh-component-instance-86595366-a5af-4963-9ee2-52ab9f81041b sdg-stats" > <div class="coh-row coh-row-xl coh-row-visible-xl" data-coh-row-match-heights="{"xl":{"target":"none"}}"> <div class="coh-row-inner"> <div class="coh-column coh-visible-xs coh-col-xs-12 coh-col-xs-push-0 coh-col-xs-pull-0 coh-col-xs-offset-0 coh-visible-ps coh-col-ps-12 coh-visible-sm coh-col-sm-12 coh-visible-md coh-col-md-12 coh-visible-lg coh-col-lg-12 coh-visible-xl coh-col-xl-12" > <h2 class="coh-heading" > </h2> </div> <div class="coh-column coh-col-xl coh-col-xl-push-0 coh-col-xl-pull-0 coh-col-xl-offset-0" > <div class="coh-container stats-slider" data-swiper-slides-view-mobile="1" data-swiper-slides-view-tablet="auto" data-swiper-slides-view-desktop="auto" data-swiper-offset="50" > <div class="coh-inline-element swiper-scrollbar"> <div class="coh-inline-element swiper-scrollbar-drag"></div> </div> <div class="coh-inline-element swiper-wrapper "> <div class="coh-inline-element ssa-component coh-component ssa-component-instance-fd28a2de-9099-4048-88a5-37169f8fe47d coh-component-instance-fd28a2de-9099-4048-88a5-37169f8fe47d swiper-slide"> <div class="coh-inline-element stats-card medium "> <div class="coh-inline-element"> <div class="coh-inline-element"> <h2 class="coh-heading" > 5 </h2> </div> </div> <div class="coh-inline-element"><h4 class="coh-heading" > percent </h4> <p class="coh-paragraph" >An estimated 172 million people worldwide were without work in 2018 - an unemployment rate of 5 percent.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="coh-inline-element ssa-component coh-component ssa-component-instance-d6ecc5ab-a58a-475f-81b1-90eb6e00d38a coh-component-instance-d6ecc5ab-a58a-475f-81b1-90eb6e00d38a swiper-slide"> <div class="coh-inline-element stats-card medium "> <div class="coh-inline-element"> <div class="coh-inline-element"> <h2 class="coh-heading" > 1 </h2> </div> </div> <div class="coh-inline-element"><h4 class="coh-heading" > million </h4> <p class="coh-paragraph" >As a result of an expanding labour force, the number of unemployed is projected to increase by 1 million every year and reach 174 million by 2020.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="coh-inline-element ssa-component coh-component ssa-component-instance-d1593417-9cc2-44ee-8ad9-ca88691010ed coh-component-instance-d1593417-9cc2-44ee-8ad9-ca88691010ed swiper-slide"> <div class="coh-inline-element stats-card medium "> <div class="coh-inline-element"> <div class="coh-inline-element"> <h2 class="coh-heading" > 700 </h2> </div> </div> <div class="coh-inline-element"><h4 class="coh-heading" > million </h4> <p class="coh-paragraph" >Some 700 million workers lived in extreme or moderate poverty in 2018, with less than US$3.20 per day.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="coh-inline-element ssa-component coh-component ssa-component-instance-6f853d03-41ce-4d72-a01d-1925d2fd96eb coh-component-instance-6f853d03-41ce-4d72-a01d-1925d2fd96eb swiper-slide"> <div class="coh-inline-element stats-card medium "> <div class="coh-inline-element"> <div class="coh-inline-element"> <h2 class="coh-heading" > 48 </h2> </div> </div> <div class="coh-inline-element"><h4 class="coh-heading" > percent </h4> <p class="coh-paragraph" >Women’s participation in the labour force stood at 48 per cent in 2018, compared with 75 percent for men.

Agriculture is the biggest user of water worldwide, and irrigation now claims close to 70 percent of all freshwater for human use.</p> <p>The efficient management of our shared natural resources, and the way we dispose of toxic waste and pollutants, are important targets to achieve this goal. Encouraging industries, businesses and consumers to recycle and reduce waste is equally important, as is supporting developing countries to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption by 2030.</p> <p>A large share of the world population is still consuming far too little to meet even their basic needs.  Halving the per capita of global food waste at the retailer and consumer levels is also important for creating more efficient production and supply chains. This can help with food security, and shift us towards a more resource efficient economy.</p> </div> </div> <div class="coh-column coh-visible-xs coh-col-xs-12 coh-visible-ps coh-col-ps-12

Sexual violence, crime, exploitation and torture are also prevalent where there is conflict, or no rule of law, and countries must take measures to protect those who are most at risk</p> <p>The SDGs aim to significantly reduce all forms of violence, and work with governments and communities to end conflict and insecurity.
