The set of issue papers presents themes and issues that the UN System in Brazil considers relevant in the scope of the implementation process of SDGs 6, 7, 11, 12 and 15 in Brazil and intend on serving as subsidies to the National Commission for the corresponding thematic discussions in the preparatory phase for the High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development of 2018, as well as in other relevant opportunities.

The glossary of terms of Sustainable Development Goal 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities presents terms and definitions on the topic. The document is intended to serve as a subsidy for the debate on public policies, in a neutral way, between institutions and individuals.

The definitions and references presented in the publication were organized by United Nations experts in a collaborative manner. The concepts in the glossary are intended to be an initial proposition and do not exhaust the themes presented.
