Abstract
Poverty reduction is a global problem confronting all countries in the world. Due to such severe challenges to the world economic development as resources and environment pressure and reduced biological diversity in the twenty-first century, the United Nations conference on Sustainable Development with the theme of Green Economy in the Context of Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication was held in Rio, Brazil, in 2012, whose results include the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Post Millennium Development Goals (Post-MDGs). The conference specially emphasized the important role of poverty eradication in sustainable development. That is why poverty indicators are included into the total HGDI.
