Explanation

No poverty, zero hunger, quality education and gender equality are all Sustainable Development Goals.

Statement 1 holds, as No Poverty is Goal 1.

Statement 2 holds, since Zero Hunger is Goal 2.

Statement 4 holds, because Quality Education is Goal 4.

Statement 5 holds, as Gender Equality is Goal 5.

Statement 3 fails, since employment to everyone is not itself a listed goal, though decent work features in Goal 8.

The 17 goals were adopted as the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
