Cichos and Salvia present a broad, comprehensive picture of global efforts to eradicate poverty and achieve Sustainable Development Goal 1 (SDG1), with the help of twenty-first century technology. On January 1, 2016, seventeen sustainable development goals (SDGs) of Agenda 2030, for Sustainable Development, were adopted by world leaders in September 2015, with the aim of mobilizing and ending all forms of poverty, fighting inequalities and tackling climate change. The authors believe that, as a global community, this can be achieved and poverty eliminated by 2030, or even earlier. They see poverty eradicated by concentrating on the participation of the poor by creating opportunities to build their own growth by means of investment in education, health, decentralized ownership, more access to public services and better infrastructure, inter alia. They also see SDG1 as the first step and as a political guideline.
