Abstract: Human rights are essential in achieving sustainable development that leaves no one behind and are central to all its three dimensions – social, environmental, and economic. Sustainable development is a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable development is advanced as the answer of achieving a more equitable balance and synergic relationship between social, environmental and economic needs. The Sustainable Development Goals are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere. Sustainable Development Goals or Global Goals are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to be a "shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future". The SDGs were set up in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly and are intended to be achieved by 2030. SDG 1 aims to eradicate every form of extreme poverty including the lack of food, clean drinking water, and sanitation. Achieving this goal includes finding solutions to new threats caused by climate change and conflict. The most pernicious form of poverty recognized under the SDGs is extreme poverty and it should be removed regardless of where a person lives. Eradicating extreme poverty by 2030 is the focus of SDG target which should be fulfilled as soon as possible.
