Publication Date: 2012

The Sustainable Social Housing Initiative (SUSHI) was developed by UNEP to increase the use of sustainable building solutions in social housing programs in developing countries. The project provides guidelines and case studies for developers to integrate sustainable solutions in the design, construction and operation of social housing units. From 2009 to 2011, the SUSHI approach and guidelines were tested in Brazil and Thailand. From 2012 to 2013, a new pilot project will be developed in India and Bangladesh.
