As an environmentalist, I find it alarming how multidimensional poverty often intersects with environmental issues. Poor communities are disproportionately affected by climate change and resource depletion, which can trap them in a cycle of poverty. Addressing poverty must include sustainable practices that empower these communities while protecting our planet. Together, we can advocate for solutions that not only alleviate poverty but also promote environmental justice. #EndPoverty #Sustainability

Poverty and inequality are two sides of the same coin - if we want people to live a life of dignity we need to ensure meaningful equality is both opportunities and outcomes . This is one of the foundational steps to ensuring that multidimensional poverty is not THE reality of so many people across the globe !

"How do monetary and multidimensional poverty compare? Multidimensional poverty metrics complement monetary poverty metrics by measuring nonmonetary deprivations. In 50 of the 68 countries with monetary poverty data fielded within 3.5 years of MPI data, the incidence of multidimensional poverty is higher than the incidence of extreme monetary poverty, measured by the World Bank at $2.15 a day. Of these 50 countries, 16 are upper middle income, and 1 is high income. In 13 of the 50 countries, the percentage of people living in multidimensional poverty is at least 30 percentage points higher than the percentage experiencing monetary poverty. Chad, Guinea and Mauritania are particularly striking, with differences of more than 50 percentage points between the two measures. Conversely, in 18 countries the incidence of monetary poverty is higher than that of multidimensional poverty. These findings highlight the complex and varied ways poverty affects human lives across regions." Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (2024)

The new report reveals that 1.1 billion people are living in multidimensional poverty, with 40% living in conflict settings. The report suggests those in conflict zones face more severe challenges in nutrition, electricity, housing, and water and sanitation access compared to peaceful settings. This data-driven report offers crucial insights for policymakers and development experts and is a powerful reminder of the urgent need for targeted interventions to combat poverty in fragile environments.

The new #UNDP and #OPHI multidimensional poverty numbers are out: 1.2 billion people in nearly 112 countries are deprived in many dimensions, beyond income and lack things such as adequate housing, sanitation, electricity, nutrition etc. Listen to our Chief Statistician Yanchun Zhang on what defines #MultidimensionalPoverty and why we need to understand poverty beyond income: https://lnkd.in/dX5gur3W Human Development Report Office - United Nations Development Programme

"Our new research shows that 1.1 billion people live in multidimensional poverty, almost half a billion live in countries exposed to violent conflict. We must accelerate action to support them. We need resources and access for specialized development and early recovery interventions to help break the cycle of poverty and crisis.” - Achim Steiner, UNDP Administrator.
