New topic page on SDG 1 – No poverty published on Open Development Mekong
Poverty is exacerbated by armed conflicts and environmental disasters. This is particularly the case for Myanmar and Thailand, although all of the Lower Mekong Countries are expected to be disproportionately impacted by climate change. Nationally-appropriate policies that are pro-poor and take into account vulnerable groups including women, children and the poor in remote locations are one systemic way of addressing the issue (SDG 1.B). Increasing social protections (SDG 1.3) is another.
