The document discusses progress that has been made in reducing extreme poverty globally. It notes that Harry Truman said in 1949 that over half of the world's population was living in conditions of misery, but that humanity now possesses the knowledge and skills to relieve suffering. Significant progress has been made since 1990, with the number of people in extreme poverty (defined as living on less than $1.25 per day) falling by half, a reduction of almost 1 billion people. However, 1.1 billion people still live in extreme poverty out of the total population of 7 billion.
