“The beauty of considering #sheltertech as an investment category is that it begins to create connections and fuel adoption; it creates a support ecosystem [for all stakeholders]” – @josephdeleon, Founding member of Manila Angel Investors Network (@MAINinvestors)

Inequitable market structures, wherein incumbents have disproportionate power and low income households are disadvantaged and often dismissed, which contributes to the other major barrier, i.e., inadequate access to finance, products & services to meet those needs.

Building has always been at the heart of @Habitat_org's mission. But the global #housing deficit is immense and to tackle it we must innovate our approaches and engage new partners, like Fondi BESA.

Learn how the MicroBuild Fund is helping us do that: https://t.co/OL3LRPYR3u

Access to capital is key for families who are building or improving thier homes. But, 1.4 billion people remain unbanked, 80% of whom reside in climate-vulnerable areas. @sitaramerchant tackles important and timely topic in MicroBuild’s FY23 Impact Report: https://t.co/vIopDkA1qy

Housing accounts for 37% of global CO2. At #COP28, @Habitat_org advocates for those in vulnerable areas. Addressing a $174B climate tech gap, sheltertech offers key investments.

@RolandPearson @TerwilligerCtr explores this in his article for @AspenANDE.

Today is #BuiltEnvironment Day at #COP28. Why does that matter? Just as the built environment has a profound impact on our lives, it also has a central role to play in achieving global climate targets and protecting communities on the front line of the climate crisis. 🧵

[Terwilliger Center for Innovation in Shelter @TerwilligerCtr]

Buildings are responsible for almost 40% of global energy-related carbon emissions and 50% of all extracted materials. We cannot reach global climate targets without policies, investments and products targeting the built environment.
