Please join us on Tuesday, December 3rd for a public event focused on Sustainable Development Goal #1, which aims to decrease poverty and ensure social protections for the poor and vulnerable, increase access to basic needs and services, and support people harmed by natural disasters and other extreme events.
Predictions suggest that 6 percent of the world population will still live in extreme poverty in 2030. People who live in extreme poverty face deprivation from social goods and services, and often live in areas where poverty is exacerbated by conflict or natural disasters. Through Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #1, the United Nations seeks to end extreme poverty, measured as people living under $1.25 a day, by ensuring all people have access to economic resources, reducing the poor’s vulnerability to climate disasters and other shocks, and implementing national social protection systems and measures for all. Despite many countries including social protections within their government spending, these programs need to be brought to scale. Although the number of people living in poverty has decreased since 2015, the rate of poverty reduction is slowing and ultimately means the world will miss the United Nations target of less than 3 percent.

The capitalist system, with the revaluation of assets to income, in itself contributes to the creation of poverty.
And she is the essence of the United States. As long as the USA exists in its present form, poverty will exist.
However, the fall of the United States will not ensure the disappearance of poverty. To do this, this system must cease to exist throughout the world.
Valuation of assets should become real and not speculative. Then wealth will be distributed evenly. And not like now – when the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. For without creating anything useful, a company can get an awkward praise – a simple example of the fraud by Masayoshi Son and WeWork.
When you have a factory concern where you pay salaries to millions of employees, they spend this money and thus create the work of the economy. And the plant grows in value in accordance with what it produces.
But revaluation of assets based on investment flow makes a situation where several thousand people get high salaries. Investors receive share income. And the remaining 990 thousand people are poor.
