Abstract	Relative poverty remains a rampant problem today due to its causes, which may include one or more aspects that may differ in various parts of the world. The subject matter of this paper is relative poverty based on geography, which influences access to services, employment, infrastructure, and economic activities. Thus, this study aims to combine the existing literature's findings and information with some statistics from the World Bank, the World Health Organization, and the International Energy Agency to analyze the effects of geographic location on financial injustice. Thus, it is evident that geographical confinement, especially in rural and developing areas, reduces the chances of acquiring education, health care, and employment, translating to poverty perpetuity. Among those, one of the important factors that can act as a source of division is an urban-rural split: Rural residents are more likely to be poor because they remain unemployed, work for low wages in the agricultural sector, and benefit from a minimal number of quality facilities. While urban settings avail formal employment and economic rewards, they experience significant economic disparities, thus rendering people experiencing poverty to be housed in slums or rural areas. Climate change worsens poverty in other regions due to low crop yields, increased displacements, and pressure on existing urban centers. Moreover, energy poverty, lack of electricity, and access to modern technology eradicate economic opportunities and education and grant limited healthcare facilities, especially in SSA, South Asia, and Latin America. It deduces that environmental, economic, and infrastructural factors are essential contributors to relative poverty in the world. Addressing these issues requires interventions in policies that strive to make deposits in rural development, sources of renewable energy, climate change adaptation, and proper land use in urban areas. This paper concludes that policymakers and policymakers can formulate efficient solutions to poverty issues by recognizing geographical influences affecting the problem.
