SDG 1 aims to eradicate extreme poverty and reduce the overall number of people living in poverty worldwide. It focuses on ensuring that all individuals, especially the most vulnerable, have equal access to basic resources such as food, shelter, education, and healthcare.

This goal also emphasizes the importance of social protection systems, economic opportunities, and resilience against disasters and economic shocks. By addressing the root causes of poverty, SDG 1 seeks to create inclusive societies where no one is left behind.

Achieving SDG 1 is essential for sustainable development, as reducing poverty contributes to better health, improved education, and stronger communities.
