A home is more than just shelter: it affects the health, well-being and stability of society. A lack of affordable housing can lead to social inequality, poverty and basic needs. By investing in public housing, we can lay a foundation for inclusive growth and strengthen social cohesion. At the same time, the need to make homes more sustainable is becoming increasingly clear. The built environment contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and consumption of natural resources. By making homes more sustainable, we can not only reduce the negative impact on the environment, but also improve energy efficiency, saving households on energy costs. This is how we work towards the climate goals of sustainable development. Public housing and sustainability thus go hand in hand: only the pursuit of affordable, accessible housing combined with making homes more sustainable creates a society that provides security for the people of today and those of future generations.
