END EXTREME POVERTY IN ALL FORMS
BY 2030.
Yes, it’s an ambitious goal—but we believe it can be done. In 2000, the
world committed to halving the number of people living in extreme
poverty by the year 2015 and we met this goal. However, more than
800 million people around the world still live on less than $1.25 a day—
that’s about the equivalent of the entire population of Europe living in
extreme poverty. Now it’s time to build on what we learned and end
poverty altogether.
