Sustainable Development Goal 13 (SDG13)
Sustainable Development Goal 13 is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015. It focuses on reducing the impacts of and adapting to climate change caused by human activities. The goal emphasizes actions to combat climate change and its effects.
The targets of this goal cover various aspects, such as:
- Strengthening resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters
- Integrating climate change measures into national policies, strategies, and planning
- Improving education, awareness, and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction, and early warning
On the international front, this goal highlights the importance of global cooperation in mobilizing the Green Climate Fund to support developing countries in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It also aims to assist the least developed countries in coping with and adapting to climate change, particularly vulnerable populations.
Sustainable Development Goal 13 is a crucial goal that drives sustainable development worldwide.
