The Sustainable Development Goals
and Addressing Statelessness
BRIEFING
NOTE
THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
AND ADDRESSING STATELESSNESS
This document aims to inform UNHCR staff about the relevance of the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) to UNHCR’s statelessness mandate and the #IBelong Campaign to End
Statelessness in 10 Years. It provides preliminary guidance on how UNHCR can contribute to the
successful implementation of the SDGs, including through national planning processes, which in
turn can help to achieve the goals of the #IBelong Campaign. The information in this document
applies to refugees who are also stateless.
