SDG 1:
NO POVERTY
Goal 1 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals is to eradicate poverty in all its forms everywhere. Poverty is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon that includes not only economic deprivation, but also limited access to education, health, basic services, personal security, and opportunities.
<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">TARGET 1.1
Eradicate extreme poverty
By 2030, “eradicate extreme poverty for all people, everywhere”. This is defined by the UN based on the international poverty line.
<span data-metadata=""><span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">INDICATOR 1.1.1
<span data-buffer="">Share below the international poverty line<span data-buffer="">
Indicator 1.1.1 is the “proportion of the population living below the international poverty line by sex, age, employment status and geographic location (urban/rural)” in the UN SDG framework.
The international poverty line is defined as living on $2.15 per day (updated from the previous poverty line of $1.90 in 2015).
This poverty line is measured in international dollars, a hypothetical currency that adjusts for price differences between countries (purchasing power parity). It is measured in prices of 2017 to adjust for price changes over time (inflation).
Data for this indicator on the proportion of the population below the international poverty line is shown in the interactive visualization. Breakdowns by sex, age, employment status, and geographical location are not available for all countries, but our topic page on poverty includes some relevant measures in this context.
<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">TARGET 1.2
Reduce poverty by at least 50%
By 2030, “reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women, and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions.”
<span data-metadata=""><span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">INDICATOR 1.2.1
<span data-buffer="">Share below the national poverty line<span data-buffer="">
Indicator 1.2.1 is the “proportion of the population living below the national poverty line” in the UN SDG framework.
National poverty lines differ by country depending on country circumstances, living standards, and cost of living.
Data for this indicator on the share of a country’s population which lives below each country’s specific national poverty line is shown in the interactive visualization.
<span data-metadata=""><span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">INDICATOR 1.2.2
<span data-buffer="">Share in multidimensional poverty according to national definitions<span data-buffer="">
Indicator 1.2.2 is the “proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions” in the UN SDG framework.
This indicator is measured via related measures of multidimensional poverty, all of which are constructed according to national definitions. Multidimensional poverty refers to being deprived in a range of standard indicators related to health, education, and living standards.
<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">TARGET 1.3
Implement social protection systems
The SDG target is to “implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable.”
<span data-metadata=""><span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">INDICATOR 1.3.1
<span data-buffer="">Population covered by social protection floors/systems<span data-buffer="">
Indicator 1.3.1 is the “proportion of 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” in the UN SDG framework.
This indicator is measured as the share of the population effectively covered by a social protection system. Such systems include child and maternity benefits, support for persons without a job, persons with disabilities, victims of work injuries, and older persons.
<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">TARGET 1.4
Equal rights to ownership, basic services, technology, and economic resources
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.
<span data-metadata=""><span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">INDICATOR 1.4.1
<span data-buffer="">Access to basic services<span data-metadata="">
Indicator 1.4.1 is the “proportion of population living in households with access to basic services” in the UN SDG framework.
The UN defines basic services as “public service provision systems that meet human basic needs” and defines this indicator in terms of access to 9 components: drinking water, sanitation, hygiene facilities, clean fuels and technology, mobility, waste collection, health care, education, and information services. These components also appear elsewhere in the SDG framework as indicators.
Since internationally-comparable data on this indicator is currently unavailable, we show here the share of the world population with access to four basic services: improved drinking water, sanitation, electricity, and clean cooking fuels. You can view the data for different countries or regions using the “Change country” button at the top of the chart.
<span data-metadata=""><span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">INDICATOR 1.4.2
<span data-buffer="">Secure tenure rights to land<span data-buffer="">
Indicator 1.4.2 is the “proportion of 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” in the UN SDG framework.
Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualizations, with the first chart showing data on indicator 1.4.2(a) for the share of adults with legal documentation of their rights to land, and the second chart showing data on indicator 1.4.2(b) for the share of individuals who perceive their rights to land as secure.

<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">TARGET 1.5
Build resilience to environmental, economic, and social disasters
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
<span data-metadata=""><span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">INDICATOR 1.5.1
<span data-buffer="">Deaths and affected persons from natural disasters<span data-metadata="">
Indicators 1.5.1 are the “number of deaths, missing persons and directly affected persons attributed to disasters per 100,000 population” in the UN SDG framework.
In the interactive visualizations, we show in the first chart a component of this indicator: the rate of deaths and missing persons from natural disasters, measured as the number of deaths and missing persons per 100,000 population per year. The other charts in the series include a range of metrics relevant to indicator 1.5.1.
<span data-metadata=""><span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">INDICATOR 1.5.2
<span data-buffer="">Direct economic loss from natural disasters<span data-buffer="">
Indicator 1.5.2 is the “direct economic loss attributed to disasters in relation to global gross domestic product (GDP)”in the UN SDG framework.
This indicator measures the ratio of direct economic loss from a disaster to gross domestic product, where direct economic loss is defined as the monetary value of totally or partially destroyed physical assets in the affected area. This includes losses in agriculture, all other productive assets, housing, critical infrastructure, and cultural heritage.

<span data-metadata=""><span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">INDICATOR 1.5.3
<span data-buffer="">Direct economic loss from natural disasters
Indicator 1.5.3 is the “number of countries that adopt and implement national disaster risk reduction strategies in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030” in the UN SDG framework.
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 is an international agreement that aims to strengthen disaster preparedness to reduce risk and losses from disasters. Although the indicator definition is framed in terms of the number of countries adopting national disaster risk reduction strategies in line with the Sendai Framework, the United Nations tracks this measure in terms of country levels of implementation.
The interactive visualization shows data for this indicator in terms of levels of country implementation, on a scale from 0 to 1, based on an average score from 10 scored sub-indicators that collectively reflect progress towards implementation of the Sendai Framework.
