No Poverty - The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 1

The UN explains: Extreme poverty rates have fallen 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. Millions more make little more than this daily amount and are at risk of slipping back into extreme poverty.

Sustainable Development Goal 1 (SDG1) aims to eradicate extreme poverty by 2030. The visualizations and data below present the latest data on our progress there.

The UN has defined 7 Targets and 14 Indicators for SDG 1. Targets specify the goals and Indicators represent the metrics by which the world aims to track whether these Targets are achieved. Below we quote the original text of all Targets and show the data on the agreed Indicators.

How is the world doing on this goal?

Population covered by social protection floors/systems - SDG Indicator 1.3.1

Definition: Indicator 1.3.1 is the "proportion of the population covered by social protection floors/systems, by sex, distinguishing children, unemployed persons, older persons, persons with disabilities, pregnant women, newborns, work-injury victims, and the poor and the vulnerable".



This is shown here as the percentage of the population covered by social insurance programs that provide old-age pensions, social security, and health insurance benefits.

Goal: "Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable".

Target 1.4: Equal rights to ownership, basic services, technology and economic resources

UN definition: "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".

Access to basic services - SDG Indicator 1.4.1

Definition: Indicator 1.4.1 is the "proportion of the population living in households with access to basic services".



Here we show the share of the world population with access to basic services, including improved drinking water, sanitation, electricity, and clean cooking fuels. (It is possible to change the perspective to other countries and world regions with the option below the chart.)

Goal: By 2030 "ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and the vulnerable, have access to basic services. This sets a target of universal access to basic services for all households".

Secure tenure rights to land - SDG Indicator 1.4.2

Definition: Indicator 1.4.2 is the "proportion of the total adult population with secure tenure rights to land, (a) with legally recognized documentation and (b) who perceive their rights to land as secure, by sex and type of tenure".

Goal: 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".

Target 1.5: Build resilience to environmental, economic and social disasters

UN definition: "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".

Deaths and affected persons from natural disasters - SDG Indicator 1.5.1

Definition: Indicator 1.5.1 is the "number of deaths, missing persons and directly affected persons attributed to disasters".



This is given here as the mortality rate from natural disasters, measured as the number of deaths per 100,000 population per year; and the number of people internally displaced as a result of natural disasters.



Goal: 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 environmental disasters".
