Goal 1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere

SDGs include disability and persons with disabilities.

Disability is referenced in multiple parts of the SDGs, specifically in the parts related to education, growth and employment, inequality, accessibility of human settlements, as well as data collection and the monitoring of the SDGs.

The newly implemented 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development holds a deep promise for persons with disabilities everywhere.

The year 2016 marks the first year of the implementation of the SDGs. At this critical point,  #Envision2030 will work to promote the mainstreaming of disability and the implementation of the SDGs throughout its 15-year lifespan with objectives to:

• Raise awareness of the 2030 Agenda and the achievement of the SDGs for persons with disabilities;
• Promote an active dialogue among stakeholders on the SDGs with a view to create a better world for persons with disabilities; and
• Establish an ongoing live web resource on each SDG and disability.
