In a world of rapid change, nearly 300 million people still have no place to call home. During an exclusive #LeadersTalk on CGTN, UN-Habitat Executive Director Anacláudia Rossbach shared eye-opening facts: more than 2.8 billion people live in inadequate housing, including over 1.1 billion in slums or informal settlements.
Across Africa, 62% of urban housing is informal. In the Asia-Pacific region, over 500 million people lack basic water services and more than 1 billion live without proper sanitation. These numbers paint a stark picture of a global crisis that affects millions every day. 😢
For young changemakers and digital natives, these challenges are a call to action. Let’s stay informed, discuss, and push for sustainable solutions to ensure safe living conditions for everyone. 💪
