York University’s commitment to advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
No Poverty
End poverty in all its forms everywhere.
Poverty is more than an economic issue; it is a fundamental question of human rights and dignity. Without transformative action, an estimated 7 per cent of the global population will still live in extreme poverty by 2030. By addressing the multidimensional aspects of poverty, including access to education, healthcare and basic services, we can maximize human potential, reduce inequality and foster more sustainable and prosperous societies.
