The United Nations first sustainable development goal is to end poverty in all its forms everywhere.
COVID-19 has led to the first rise in extreme poverty in a generation.
An additional 119 to 124 million people were pushed back into extreme poverty in 2020.
The global poverty rate is projected to be 7% in 2030, which is missing the target of eradicating poverty.
As of April 2021, 118 countries reported national or local disaster risk reduction strategies were up from 45 in 2015.
Governments worldwide have put in place 1,600 short-term social protection measures in response to COVID-19,
but 4 billion people are still not covered by social protection.
