Make Cities Inclusive, Safe, Resilient And Sustainable - The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11

The UN explains: "The challenges cities face can be overcome in ways that allow them to continue to thrive and grow while improving resource use and reducing pollution and poverty. The future we want includes cities of opportunities for all, with access to basic services, energy, housing, transportation, and more."

The UN has defined 10 Targets and 15 Indicators for SDG 11. Targets specify the goals and Indicators represent the metrics by which the world aims to track whether these Targets are achieved. Below we quote the original text of all Targets and show the data on the agreed Indicators.

How is the world doing on this goal?

Target 11.5: Reduce the adverse effects of natural disasters

UN definition: "By 2030, significantly reduce the number of deaths and the number of people affected and substantially decrease the direct economic losses relative to global gross domestic product caused by disasters, including water-related disasters, with a focus on protecting the poor and people in vulnerable situations."

Deaths and injuries from natural disasters - SDG Indicator 11.5.1

Definition: Indicator 11.5.1 is the "number of deaths, missing persons, and directly affected persons attributed to disasters per 100,000 population".





Indicators measured here report mortality rates of internally displaced persons, missing persons, and total numbers affected by natural disasters.

Goal: "By 2030, significantly reduce the number of deaths and the number of people affected by disasters".

Economic losses from natural disasters - SDG Indicator 11.5.2

Direct economic losses from disasters are given at global and national levels in relative terms as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP). Absolute losses in US$ are available in 'additional charts' below.

Direct economic losses measure the monetary value of total or partial destruction of physical assets existing in the affected area from natural disasters.

Goal: "By 2030, substantially decrease the direct economic losses relative to the global gross domestic product caused by disasters, including water-related disasters, with a focus on protecting the poor and people in vulnerable situations".
