Ending poverty doesn’t have to cost the Earth.

Everyone deserves a chance to live a better life with food, clean water, good health and a job. But as we work to end poverty, we must also protect the environment. If we cut down too many trees, pollute the air or overuse natural resources to grow the economy, we may cause more problems in the future.

It is possible to reduce poverty and care for the planet at the same time. We can create jobs in clean energy, farming, recycling and eco-friendly building. These jobs help people earn money while also protecting the environment. Using clean energy like wind and solar also keeps the air cleaner for everyone.

   

To make sure our efforts are working, we also need to be careful about where things come from and how they are made. When businesses can trace their products, they can avoid those that harm nature or people. This helps keep growth fair and safe for both people and the planet.
