NO POVERTY


Eradicating poverty in all its forms remains one of the greatest challenges
facing humanity. 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.

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.

CLEAN WATER
AND
SANITATION

improved water sanitation since 1990, dwindling drinking water supplies are
affecting every continent.

AFFORDABLE
AND CLEAN
ENERGY



Between 2000 and 2016, the number of people with electricity increased from 78
to 87 percent, and the numbers without electricity dipped to just below one
billion. Yet as the population continues to grow, so will the demand for cheap
energy, and an economy reliant on fossil fuels is creating drastic changes to
our climate.

AND ECONOMIC
GROWTH

SUSTAINABLE
CITIES AND
COMMUNITIES

RESPONSIBLE
CONSUMPTION &
PRODUCTION



Achieving economic growth and sustainable development requires that we urgently
reduce our ecological footprint by changing the way we produce and consume goods
and resources. Agriculture is the biggest user of water worldwide, and
irrigation now claims close to 70 percent of all freshwater for human use.

CLIMATE
ACTION



There is no country that is not experiencing the drastic effects of climate
change. Greenhouse gas emissions are more than 50 percent higher than in 1990.
Global warming is causing long-lasting changes to our climate system, which
threatens irreversible consequences if we do not act.

LIFE
BELOW WATER



The world’s oceans – their temperature, chemistry, currents and life – drive
global systems that make the Earth habitable for humankind. How we manage this
vital resource is essential for humanity as a whole, and to counterbalance the
effects of climate change.

LIFE ON LAND



Human life depends on the earth as much as the ocean for our sustenance and
livelihoods. Plant life provides 80 percent of the human diet, and we rely on
agriculture as an important economic resources. Forests cover 30 percent of the
Earth’s surface, provide vital habitats for millions of species, and important
sources for clean air and water, as well as being crucial for combating climate
change.

PEACE,

STRONG
INSTITUTIONS



We cannot hope for sustainable development without peace, stability, human
rights and effective governance, based on the rule of law. Yet our world is
increasingly divided. Some regions enjoy peace, security and prosperity, while
others fall into seemingly endless cycles of conflict and violence. This is not
inevitable and must be addressed.

PARTNERSHIPS
FOR THE GOALS



The SDGs can only be realized with strong global partnerships and cooperation.
Official Development Assistance remained steady but below target, at US$147
billion in 2017. While humanitarian crises brought on by conflict or natural
disasters continue to demand more financial resources and aid. Many countries
also require Official Development Assistance to encourage growth and trade.
