No poverty
There were 736 million people living below the extreme poverty line in 2015 — this is one in ten people around the world.
The latest estimates tell us that half of those living in extreme poverty are children. If we want to end poverty someday, we need to focus on them.
Quality Education
About 260 million children were still unable to attend school in 2018.
More than half of all children worldwide are not meeting minimum proficiency standards in reading and mathematics.
Today, nearly 400 million children of primary school age cannot read or write.
Clean Water and Sanitation
Millions of people die every year from diseases associated with unsafe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene.
2.2 billion people worldwide do not have safely managed drinking water services.
Over half the global population, 4.2 billion people, lack safely managed sanitation services.
Climate Action
Australia must adapt to further changes in the climate. Bushfires are expected to become more frequent and more intense.
Rising sea levels could cover low-lying islands with water across the earth. That could result in the loss of critical habitats, increasing the risk of extinction of species that are found nowhere else in the world.
