A/HRC/RES/41/19
Goals and targets, and reaffirming that the 2030 Agenda is of unprecedented scope and
significance, accepted by all countries, taking into account different national realities,
capacities and levels of development and respecting national policies and priorities; its
goals and targets are universal, integrated and indivisible, and balance the three dimensions
of sustainable development,
Recognizing that, four years into the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, progress
has been made across some of the Sustainable Development Goals and targets, but it has
not been at the pace required to achieve this ambitious agenda and has been uneven across
countries and regions, and emphasizing that urgent progress is needed towards all targets, in
particular those with a time frame of 2020,
Reaffirming that the existence of extreme poverty inhibits the full and effective
enjoyment of human rights, emphasizing that eradicating poverty in all its forms and
dimensions, including extreme poverty, is a great global challenge, an indispensable
requirement and an overarching priority for sustainable development, and reaffirming also
that the immediate alleviation and eventual eradication of extreme poverty must remain a
high priority for the international community, and that joint efforts towards the achievement
of this goal should be strengthened,
Affirming the commitments to end poverty and hunger, in all their forms and
dimensions, and to ensure that all human beings can fulfil their potential in dignity and
equality and in a healthy environment,
Welcoming the remarkable progress made since 1990, which has lifted over 1.1
billion people out of extreme poverty, but also expressing deep concern that the progress in
reducing poverty remains uneven; with 1.3 billion people still living in multidimensional
poverty, this number continues to be significant and unacceptably high,
Welcoming also the tremendous efforts made by States in promoting sustainable
development and eradicating poverty, including extreme poverty, and the progress made,
which significantly promotes the enjoyment of human rights, reaffirming that each country
faces specific challenges in its pursuit of sustainable development and the eradication of
poverty, and recognizing the importance of supporting countries in their efforts to eradicate
poverty in all its forms and dimensions,
Affirming that international cooperation for sustainable development has an essential
role in shaping our shared future, particularly in assisting developing countries in
promoting sustainable development and eliminating obstacles to development, and
emphasizing the importance of continued efforts to promote international development
cooperation,
