migrants. We resolve to take further effective measures and actions, in conformity
with international law, to remove obstacles and constraints, strengthen support and
meet the special needs of people living in areas affected by complex humanitarian
emergencies and in areas affected by terrorism.
24. We are committed to ending poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including
by eradicating extreme poverty by 2030. All people must enjoy a basic standard of
living, including through social protection systems. We are also determined to end
hunger and to achieve food security as a matter of priority and to end all forms of
malnutrition. In this regard, we reaffirm the important role and inclusive nature of
the Committee on World Food Security and welcome the Rome Declaration on
Nutrition and the Framework for Action. We will devote resources to developing
rural areas and sustainable agriculture and fisheries, supporting smallholder farmers,
especially women farmers, herders and fishers in developing countries, particularly
least developed countries.
25. We commit to providing inclusive and equitable quality education at all
levels – early childhood, primary, secondary, tertiary, technical and vocational
training. All people, irrespective of sex, age, race or ethnicity, and persons with
disabilities, migrants, indigenous peoples, children and youth, especially those in
vulnerable situations, should have access to life-long learning opportunities that
help them to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to exploit opportunities and to
participate fully in society. We will strive to provide children and youth with a
nurturing environment for the full realization of their rights and capabilities, helping
our countries to reap the demographic dividend, including through safe schools and
cohesive communities and families.
26. To promote physical and mental health and well-being, and to extend life
expectancy for all, we must achieve universal health coverage and access to quality
health care. No one must be left behind. We commit to accelerating the progress
made to date in reducing newborn, child and maternal mortality by ending all such
preventable deaths before 2030. We are committed to ensuring universal access to
sexual and reproductive health-care services, including for family planning,
information and education. We will equally accelerate the pace of progress made in
fighting malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, hepatitis, Ebola and other communicable
diseases and epidemics, including by addressing growing anti-microbial resistance
and the problem of unattended diseases affecting developing countries. We are
committed to the prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases, including
behavioural, developmental and neurological disorders, which constitute a major
challenge for sustainable development.
27. We will seek to build strong economic foundations for all our countries.
Sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth is essential for prosperity.
This will only be possible if wealth is shared and income inequality is addressed.
We will work to build dynamic, sustainable, innovative and people-centred
economies, promoting youth employment and women’s economic empowerment, in
particular, and decent work for all. We will eradicate forced labour and human
trafficking and end child labour in all its forms. All countries stand to benefit from
having a healthy and well-educated workforce with the knowledge and skills needed
for productive and fulfilling work and full participation in society. We will
strengthen the productive capacities of least developed countries in all sectors,
including through structural transformation. We will adopt policies which increase
productive capacities, productivity and productive employment; financial inclusion;
sustainable agriculture, pastoralist and fisheries development; sustainable industrial
