Inquality and Prosperity
Given that poverty eradication is the primary aim of the new goals framework, there are unsurprisingly a wide range of proposals within the e-Inventory that address the issue. The majority of which, however, seemingly do so at the target level under a different thematic area as opposed to a standalone goal in its own right (i.e. treating poverty as a cross-cutting issue).
