Global Partnership for Universal Social Protection (USP2030)

Rule Changes

Coordinating global efforts to achieve SDG Target 1.3

For the first time in history, more than half the world's population has access to some form of social protection. The figure hit 52.4% in 2024—up from 42.8% when the UN adopted the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015. That's 4.7 billion people now covered by pensions, disability benefits, healthcare, or cash transfers that help them survive economic shocks and escape poverty.
