Sustainable Building Materials (SBMs) Impact on IDPs Health/Well-Being

Featured Image

Why is it important?

SBMs can reflect the people’s culture, making IDPs homely, happy and comfortable with positive psychosocial impacts that may improve their mental health.

Perspectives

The protracted nature of internal displacement globally calls for urgent action and sustained stakeholder commitment. Durable solutions, including voluntary return, local integration, and resettlement, must be pursued in a manner that prioritises the rights and well-being of IDPs. Countries should promote stability, education, and employment opportunities and reduce the drivers of displacement by fostering resilience and enabling individuals to use sustainable materials, built environments, and lifestyles. Together, we can create a more sustainable future and ensure the longevity of our planet for generations to come.
