Why Solving Absolute Poverty Is Crucial for Achieving Multiple SDGs

Absolute poverty, now defined as living on less than $2.15 per day, is a condition that strips people of access to basic necessities like food, clean water, education, and healthcare. While the world has made significant strides in reducing poverty, millions still live under this extreme threshold. Solving absolute poverty not only improves individual lives but also plays a critical role in achieving many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations.
