End poverty in all its forms and everywhere
In addition to eradicating extreme poverty, SDG 1 also includes a sub-target on eradicating relative poverty, which is based on national definitions. Furthermore, targets are formulated for basic protection through social protection systems and for access to resources and services for the poor and vulnerable. Depending on which indicators are used, the observed progress on SDG 1 varies. The official German Sustainable Development Strategy's progress calculation includes two indicators. The list of indicators expanded by 2030Watch comprises four indicators.

Progress is calculated using the mean values of the indicators.
Official monitoring
The German Sustainable Development Strategy comprises two indicators and measures the share of the population experiencing material deprivation in Germany. On this basis, target achievement is calculated at 195.6 percent because the target values are set too low.
Civil society monitoring
2030Watch's expanded indicator list includes four indicators with adjusted target values for the two official indicators, as well as two new indicators to draw attention to relative poverty. On the basis of this complementary set of indicators, the calculated progress on SDG 1 is 27.4 percent.
