Decades of progress on extreme poverty now in reverse due to Covid Peter Beaumont © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Jérôme Delay/AP Two decades of progress in the reduction of extreme poverty, the elimination of which is one of the sustainable development goals, have been pushed into a sharp reverse by a combination of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the growing climate emergency and increasing debt.
