2. What do the SDGs consist on?
Goal 1 - End poverty in all its forms everywhere • By 2030, eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere, currently measured
as people living on less than $1.25 a day 1.2. • Ensure that everyone in society is protected against things like unemployment and

have less money to still have equal access to basic services, labour, land, technology and be able to create companies to grow economically. • Build the resilience of people with less money so that they are better protected
from climate-related extreme events, like floods and droughts, and other economic, social and environmental shocks.
