Goal 13: Climate Action

Climate Action aims to combat climate change and its impacts. The goal recognises that climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity, with far-reaching consequences for ecosystems, societies, and economies. Goal 13 focuses on strengthening resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters. It calls for the implementation of measures to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, including promoting renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable transportation systems.

The goal emphasises the need for international cooperation to mobilise climate finance and support developing countries in their efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change. It also highlights the importance of raising awareness and enhancing education on climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Additionally, Goal 13 promotes the integration of climate change measures into policies, strategies, and planning processes at all levels. By achieving this goal, societies can contribute to limiting global temperature rise, protecting vulnerable communities from climate impacts, and ensuring a sustainable and resilient future for all.
