SDG 11
Responsible Consumption & Production
WHAT’s THIS ABOUT?
Creating sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11) is crucial for human well-being and planetary health. Over 1 billion people live in slums, and cities consume 78% of the world's energy and produce over 60% of greenhouse gas emissions. Rapid urbanization strains infrastructure, exacerbates inequality, and increases vulnerability to disasters.
People thrive when they live in places where they can live and commute to work affordably and safely. Our communities are enriched with parks, cultural and artistic monuments, and natural spaces. We rely on clean streets and air and want to be safe when storms hit.
Businesses have a vested interest in promoting safe cities, as they rely on functioning urban systems for their workforce, customers, and supply chains. By investing in green infrastructure, promoting sustainable transportation, and supporting inclusive urban development, businesses can enhance their operational efficiency, attract and retain talent, and contribute to thriving communities.
Businesses can offer housing assistance to employees, support green buildings, and invest in public transit improvements. Embracing SDG 11 means building up healthy, equitable communities where we work and operate, for the betterment of all.
