DESCRIPTION
This background paper focuses on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in terms of humanitarian needs. The Sustainable Development Solutions  Network (SDSN) has twelve thematic networks that help work towards the  achievement of SDGs. A problem arises in the fact that the humanitarian caseload is constantly rising. It is stated that more people are displaced by conflict in the present than were during World War Two. In addition to this, natural disasters have been becoming more severe and impacting larger groups. Many crises have actually deteriorated and become worse.
