Level the Playing Field
REDUCE INEQUALITIES BETWEEN COUNTRIES
“There is growing consensus that economic growth is not sufﬁcient to reduce poverty if it is not inclusive and if it does not involve the three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social and environmental. To reduce inequality, policies should be universal in principle paying attention to the needs of disadvantaged and marginalized populations.”
– United Nations
The following facts can be found on the official website of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
LET'S REDUCE INEQUALITY.
This Sustainable Development Goal strives to progressively achieve and sustain income growth of the bottom 40% of the population at a rate higher than the national average. It also endeavors to empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status and eliminate discriminatory laws, policies and practices by promoting appropriate legislation, policies and action.
Stop Wishing. Start Doing.
