A/HRC/45/39 25. Sustainable Development Goal target 1.3 is to implement appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and, by 2030, to achieve substantial coverage of the poor and vulnerable. That includes ensuring their equal rights to economic resources and access to basic services, as well as ownership and control over land, and building the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations. Recent reports show that 55 per cent of the world population has no access to social protection. Most of the reports submitted in the context of the voluntary national reviews contain limited information on those issues, and there is insufficient localization of policies and plans related to the realization of the Goals to address marginalized groups and regions. 26. It is imperative that States, with the participation of stakeholders, adopt specific plans and programmes to implement Sustainable Development Goal 1, establishing precise targets and, if necessary, time frames, covering all communities and groups that could be affected by poverty or that are at risk of becoming poor. As a direct means of achieving Goal 1, it is recommended that States mobilize adequate and well-directed financing, aimed at inclusive development, by supporting the competitiveness of micro, small and mediumsized enterprises, as well as non-financial means of implementation, including a nondiscriminatory and equitable multilateral trading system, which has been recognized as an engine for development. 27. Although putting an end to hunger and achieving food security (Sustainable Development Goal 2) is closely related to ending poverty, voluntary national reviews and other reports do not contain much information on measures in that field. In the Human Development Report 2015, UNDP referred to some 800 million people confronted with hunger, mainly in developing countries, 7 and recent reports affirm that hunger is on the rise for the third consecutive year. Targets of Goal 2 refer to ending different forms of malnutrition among children, women and older persons, increasing the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers and other measures of development and protecting them in internal and international markets. 28. Some States noted in their voluntary national reviews that there was a higher level of food insecurity in rural areas than in urban settings and the double burden of malnutrition in some countries and obesity among children in others. National policies for implementing the 2030 Agenda should respond as appropriate to all targets under Goal 2 and should include specific measures to ensure the fundamental right of everyone to an adequate standard of living for themselves and their families, including adequate food, and to facilitate the development of sustainable and productive agriculture. 29. States’ reports contain more information about Sustainable Development Goal 3, to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Some States recognize that public health is a national asset and a basis for achieving sustainable development. Some refer to the right to health in general, whereas others refer to universal health-care coverage. Many countries identified health care as a priority in their national plans of development and reported measures to fight child mortality or expressed concerns about health equity. Half of the world’s population is still without access to essential health services and suffers from financial hardships in that field. 30. Health should remain among the priorities of the national policies, in particular for ensuring access to high-quality health care for everyone, including women, children, persons with disabilities and other members of vulnerable groups. The national policies of States should include more specific targets to adopt and implement such measures. In recent reports on health-care issues, following the high-level meetings on the Sustainable Development Goals, the need for concerted efforts to achieve universal health-care coverage, to continue to work to reduce child mortality, to extend immunization coverage, to decrease HIV incidence, to take measures to control and eliminate tropical diseases and to increase the number of health-care personnel in developing and mid-income countries were underlined, among other measures (see A/HRC/41/34 and Add.1 and 2). 7 8 UNDP, Human Development Report 2015 (UNDP, New York, 2015), p. 18.
