SDG 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities

UNHCR supports over half a million households with shelter in an average year. In 2025, we will provide durable, climate-resilient and inclusive shelter solutions; emergency shelter for newly displaced populations; and repairs and rehabilitation of housing, especially in places vulnerable to severe weather events. UNHCR will invest in degraded infrastructure, smart mini-grids, and innovations such as the use of recycled plastic waste to create durable shelters. New opportunities may arise from efforts to transition refugee camps into sustainable settlements.
