Ending homelessness through preventive housing measures - SDG 1 & SDG 11.1. How can poverty eradication and adequate, safe and affordable housing go hand in hand? (CSocD62 Side Event) - Poverty eradication, as the very first goal of the UN Agenda 2030 with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals, has unfortunately again become increasingly relevant due to the multiple crises of our time including the pandemic, the energy crisis and inflation, the war against Ukraine and the climate crisis. Adequate, safe, and affordable housing is crucial to reduce poverty, as emphasized in SDG 11.1, which aims to provide access to such housing for all by 2030.
