Intergovernmental Open-Ended Expert Working Group on Adequate Housing for All: Intersessional Meeting on Housing Sustainability and Resilience

Provide high level summary (max. 2500-character incl. spaces), probably starting with the full title: 
The Open-Ended Intergovernmental Expert Working Group on Adequate Housing for All (OEWG-H) was established pursuant to resolution 2/7 on Adequate Housing for All, adopted by the UN-Habitat Assembly in 2023. Accordingly, the first and second sessions of the OEWG-H were held at the headquarters of UN-Habitat in Nairobi on 9-11 December 2024 and 22-23 October 2025 respectively. The elected co-chairs, Azerbaijan and Somalia, developed a road map for 2026, which includes intersessional meetings to pursue the work on the identified priority thematic areas. On 16 September 2025, a virtual Intersessional Thematic Meeting was held for the topic “Housing Environmental Sustainability”, during which Member States made observations and recommendations on the theme.

Based on the foregoing, the Intersessional Meeting focuses on housing sustainability and resilience — a key priority identified by the Co-Chairs (Azerbaijan and Somalia) for the 2026 cycle. It will bring together nominated experts, national focal points and invited representatives to advance substantive discussions and contribute to the development of policy recommendations under the OEWG-H.
The session builds on an extensive preparatory process initiated in 2025. A draft paper on housing sustainability and resilience will serve as the basis for discussion.
