“Addressing the Global Housing Crisis Together” at the XXXV High-Level Meeting Reshaping Multilateralism in an Era of Divides and Transformation
| States and communities everywhere in the world seem in the grip of a global housing crisis that threatens social stability and sustainable development. According to the UN findings, nearly 3 billion people live in inadequate housing conditions, including over 1.1 billion in informal settlements or slums and more than 300 million who are homeless. In many cities, the increase of housing costs has far outpaced incomes, making it unaffordable for a vast share of the population. This affordability gap in some cases contributes to rising access to housing, and in others – contributes to the cases of homelessness, and yet in other cases – increases the growth of slum populations – in 2022 the number of slum dwellers reached about 1.12 billion, up by 130 million since 2015.
Against this background the SDG 11 target of housing for all by 2030 is put at serious risk.
