Humans are responsible for things like pollution, deforestation, and habitat destruction. 8% more of the developing world's people have access to clean water. 15% now have access to improves sanitation services for the first time. By 2020 they would like to help 100 mil people living in slums.

Global Partnership- Decline poverty, lower taxes so they have access to necessities, and deal with debt problems of countries. They believe people living in poverty need multiple tools to address these challenges. 1 in 6 people live on less than $2 a day in Latin America.
