    SDG House Series
    The Sustainable Development Goal - House or SDG-House is a joint effort by UN-Habitat and its partners to encompass the important and novel breakthroughs in areas related to the sustainability of the Housing Sector. The approach recognises that the housing sector is complex, and touches on many socio-economic, environmental, and cultural aspects of development. This first summary of the future publication: The SDG House, RETHINKING BUILDING PRACTICES: INTERVENTIONS IN BUILDING DESIGN, CONSTRUCTIONS, COST EFFECTIVENESS AND RESOURCE EFFICIENCY, recalls the important role that housing plays in mitigating climate change, achieving affordable, adequate, and sustainable development, as well as proving that sustainability considerations can indeed catalyse positive socio-economic impact in myriad sectors. This first summary, presented during the 10th edition of the World Urban Forum in Abu Dhabi, 2020, has a focus on the design, construction, material innovation, cultural adequacy, and participation as they all have a role in achieving a sustainable housing sector. The different sections presented showcase how diverse considerations and processes from the housing sector can link strongly to the Sustainable Development Goals, and thus showcase the impact of the housing sector on the 2030 Agenda. The full SDG House Book will be published after the 10th edition of the World Urban Forum.
