Global Shelter Project is an initiative to support development of products that can be used for emergency housing and also become building blocks of affordable green built environment on Earth.
Affordable housing technology is seen as essential in addressing the social, economic, and environmental challenges now present and ever increasing due to population growth, material shortages, and continued displacement of existing populations for various reasons.
This initiative will identify and promote promising materials and technologies, enlist public and private support, and create a path of involvement for existing humanitarian agencies, governments and industry and individuals to sponsor and share ownership of products resultant of their support.
A broad cross discipline approach is seen as crucial within the initiative to insure the most effective use of time, money and resources.
Goals of this initiative are to 1) Provide minimum levels of shelter outlined in the United Nations Millennium Goals, 2) Aid in reducing green house gases, 3) Slow depletion of limited resources. 4) Stimulate harmonious global goodwill.
