Eradicating extreme poverty and hunger—two of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agreed by the United Nations in 2017—may seem far out of reach. But, according to a new study, it could done with about ten percent of the world’s military spending. A price has been set and estimated by the United Nations to solve this crisis – $116 billion a year. It may seem like a large sum of money, but when compared to the 10 countries defense budget – $1,243 billion in 2016 – $116 billion seems more attainable.
