A sustainably managed environment is a prerequisite for socio-economic development and poverty reduction. The natural environment supplies ecosystem goods and services that provide income, support job creation, poverty alleviation, contribute to safety nets and reduce inequity. Climate change and exposure to natural disasters threaten to derail efforts to eradicate poverty. A great bulk of the world's poorest and most vulnerable citizens live in disaster prone countries and their number keeps increasing. Those groups are disproportionally affected by shocks and stresses. As temperatures rise, the likelihood and severity of climate-related disasters increase affecting lives and livelihoods, hampering the development efforts and reversing gains made in poverty reduction.

• Ending poverty in all its forms and dimensions by 2030 is the first and most
important goal of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
• It aims to ensure social protection for the poor and vulnerable, increase access to
basic services and support people harmed by climate-related extreme events and
other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters. This goal has
seven targets and 13 indicators to measure its progress
• The number of people living in extreme poverty dropped by more than half from
1.9 billion to 836 million between 1990 and 2015.Despite the ongoing progress , 10
percent of the world's population live in extreme poverty and struggle to meet
basic needs such as health, education, and access to water and sanitation.

• Rapid economic growth in countries like China and India has lifted
millions out of poverty, but progress has been uneven. Women are more
likely to live in poverty than men due to unequal access to paid work,
education and property
• Progress has also been limited in other regions, such as South Asia and
Sub-Saharan Africa, which account for 80 percent of those living in
extreme poverty.
• New threats brought on by climate change, conflict and food insecurity,
mean even more work is needed to bring people out of poverty

Indicator 1.1.1 the proportion of population below the international poverty line, by sex, age,
employment status and geographical location (urban/rural).
• The "international poverty line" is defined as $2.15 per day (2020 PPP) recently updated in
September 2022 from the previous poverty line of $1.90 (2011 PPP) and $1.25 (2017 PPP) in
2015.
• The World Bank has revised its global poverty lines, so they are expressed in its reference year.
With the new PPPs(purchasing power parities)
• This poverty line is measured in "international dollars" which are a hypothetical currency that
adjusts for price differences between countries (purchasing power parity) and it is measured in
prices of reference years to adjust for price changes over time (inflation).
Goal : Eliminate extreme poverty

• Richer and poorer countries set very different poverty lines in order to
measure poverty in a way that is informative and relevant to the level of
incomes of their citizens.
• For instance, while in the United States a person is counted as being in
poverty if they live on less than roughly $24.5 per day, in Ethiopia the
poverty line is set more than 10 times lower – at $2.04 per day
• The World Bank has set the extreme poverty line at $1.9 per person per
day, however since 2017, the World Bank has also been reporting poverty
rates for all countries using two new international poverty lines: a lower
middle-income International Poverty Line, set at $3.20/day; and an upper
middle-income International Poverty Line, set at $5.50/day.

• The cost of Basic Need Method has been adopted to calculate the
poverty line using the Household Integrated Economic Survey
(HIES), conducted by Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) in Pakistan
starting from 1998-99 to 2018-19.
• The CBN Method uses food as well as non-food expenditures
(clothing, shelter, education etc.) that are necessary for households
for calculating the poverty line
• The estimated poverty line in Pakistan for 1998-99 was calculated at
Rs 930 per adult equivalent per month. The poverty line for each
year has been deflated by inflation.

• The poverty lines, thereafter, is updated for each successive survey period to
incorporate the inflation impact between two survey periods. the updated
poverty line of Pakistan showing the increasing trend due to an increase in
inflation, therefore for the year 2018-19 the poverty line per adult equivalent
per month was reached at RS 3776.
• Poverty estimates are highly sensitive to a variety of factors, such as the choice
of poverty line employed, methodology, the specification of the threshold
level of poverty in terms of caloric requirement, expenditure or income.

25 2/27/2023
• Since the creation of the SDGs, Pakistan has taken key measures to
achieve them. The country submitted its Voluntary National Review
(VNR) in 2019. In the same year , the country made the fulfillment of the
SDGs by 2030 a national priority. There are now specific budget
allocations, national monitoring of 46 indicators and stakeholder
engagements in the country. All of these factors are clear indicators of
SDG progress in Pakistan, even beyond SDG 1.
• Poverty in Pakistan has declined steadily during last one and a half
decade. Foreign remittances, growth of informal sector associated with
rising urbanization, and expansion in social protection initiatives seem to
be the major contributing factors in the declining poverty trends.

• Pakistani government has created multiple pieces of legislation that align
with SDG 1. The Balochistan Senior Citizens Act of 2017 made provisions
for the well-being of senior citizens in Balochistan.
• Furthermore, the act implemented other financial and social measures to
account for the aging population in Pakistan. The government also took
steps to register and regulate charity funding through The Punjab
Charities Act of 2018. These are just two examples of laws designed to
help mitigate and eradicate poverty within the country.
• Parliamentary Task Forces have also been created to fill legislative gaps
for each goal and keep track of SDG fulfillment.

• Pakistan with an overall Index score in 2021 of 57.7 means that the country is
on average 57.7 per cent on the way to the best possible outcome across the
17 SDGs. This score is 1.5pc higher than the country’s score in 2020.
• The proportion of the population living below the international poverty line
increased by 0.4% between 2015 and 2018. However, the proportion of the
population living below the national poverty line as measured by SDGs
indicator 1.2.1 declined. This proportion was 29.5% in 2013-14, reduced by
7.6% over five years to 21.9% in 2018-19. In this way, during the five years in
2014-2019, 9.3 million people were lifted out of poverty.
• Reaching the threshold of $3.20 per day remains a goal for the country.
Approximately 20.7% of the current population lives under these poverty
conditions. This poses major challenges to the achievement of SDG 1 in
Pakistan.

• Despite of the Covid-19 global pushback, Pakistan’s SDG Global Rank is
129 (out of 193) in 2021, improved by five rank in 2020
• Compared to our neighbor's, Bangladesh’s rank stayed at 109 during
2020 and 2021 and India’s rank declined by three, from 117 to 120
between 2020 to 2021.
• According to the recent report by world bank . In FY22, poverty is
estimated to have decreased , High GDP growth led to a decrease in the
projected poverty headcount, measured at the lower-middle income
class line of USD 3.65 (PPP 2017) per day, from 39.1 in FY21 to 36.4
percent in FY22.11

• According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics Covid-19 specific survey
(2020), 27.31 million working population was affected. Where as 20.6m
people could not work during the first wave of the pandemic in 2020. and
6.7m people said that their income was declined
• A phone survey conducted by the World Bank in January 2022 suggests that
Pakistan’s economic recovery remains fragile. During the COVID
lockdowns, many respondents had left the labor market and are now
searching for employment, driving up the unemployment rate
• More recently, rising inflation has reduced the real purchasing power of
households also acdecrease in school enrollment rates, as parents can no
longer afford school fees.

• Recent devastating floods will have an adverse impact on poverty, The
immediate impact on household welfare will come through these channels
1. loss of household income due to destroyed Crops, killed livestock, or
inactivity of businesses
2. loss of assets, such as homes, livestock, productive equipment, and
household durables
3. loss of assets, such as homes, livestock, productive equipment, and
household durables
4. loss of human capital, given significant threat of disease outbreaks and
food shortages, and prolonged school closures.

33. Effects of Conflict , Covid-19 and climate
change on the progress SDGs
33 2/27/2023 22-MS-IWRM-11
• Preliminary estimates suggest that as a direct consequence of the floods, the
national poverty rate could increase by 2.5 to 4.0 percentage points, pushing
between 5.8 and 9.0 million people into poverty
• The size and duration of shocks will vary across locations and households
depending on the intensity of the flooding as well as the quality of relief and
reconstruction efforts
• The full economic impact of the floods is still highly uncertain, as the
situation is still evolving.
