The goal address the need to eradicate poverty and establish systems that secure the most vulnerable groups and individuals. This means that extreme poverty must be eradicated and poverty in general must be halved in all countries. Social security systems, universal access to basic services and building resilience to natural disasters must be established. Equal rights must be ensured so that everyone has access to financial resources, and a political framework must be created with a focus on the poor and equality.

It is a benefit for both the citizen as well as society if efforts are made to reduce poverty and increase the population's opportunities for self-sufficiency. Naalakkersuisut believes that policies against poverty must focus on creating a framework that supports the individual in working their way out of a locked economic situation and promoting social mobility among children and young people. Preventing poverty is about society's ability to turn economic resources into social progress.

If everyone does not have equal opportunities to unleash their potential and achieve a good standard of living, it is contrary to the principles of justice, and equally to the detriment of society.

Naalakkersuisut's goal to reduce poverty in Greenland is about helping more people to become self-sufficient. These include targets for more people to be in employment or training, fewer on public transfers, more full-time employees, increased availability among citizens in the low- and middle-income group, etc. The more of the country's citizens who become contributors to society, the greater the likelihood of economic independence.

Eradicating poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice and the key to unlocking an enormous human potential. Still, nearly half of the world’s population lives in poverty, and lack of food and clean water is killing thousands every single day of the year. Together, we can feed the hungry, wipe out disease and give everyone in the world a chance to prosper and live a productive and rich life.
