SDG 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries by 2030

​

WHY IT MATTERS

Inequalities of all kinds - income, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, race, class, ethnicity, religion and opportunity - continue to persist across the world, within and among countries. Inequality threatens long-term social and economic development, harms poverty reduction and destroys people’s sense of self-worth. This, in turn, can breed crime, disease and environmental degradation. Despite progress in some areas, too much of the world’s wealth is held by a very small group of people. We cannot achieve sustainable development and make the planet better for all if people are excluded from the chance for a better life.

  • What Can I Do?
    Buy fair-trade and other ethically sourced products where people are offered decent prices for their produce and labour. Volunteer in a skill-sharing programme within your college or community e.g. computer skills, building a resume, preparing for job interviews. Campaign for international solutions for peace. Violent conflicts and social upheaval are one of the main drivers of poverty. Food waste is linked to global poverty as consumers increase the demand for food by causing prices to rise and make food less affordable for others. Write to your local TD’s, and ask them to make sure Ireland continues to work towards achieving an end to world poverty.
