SDG 13
Climate Action
Implement the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change commitment to achieving a climate-neutral world by mid-century to limit global warming to well below 2°C —with an aim of 1.5°C — compared with pre-industrial times. It also aims to strengthen countries’ resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related natural hazards and the resulting disasters, with a special focus on supporting least developed countries.
1. Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries
- Number of deaths, missing persons and directly affected persons attributed to disasters per 100,000 population
- Number of countries that adopt and implement national disaster risk reduction strategies in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030
- Proportion of local governments that adopt and implement local disaster risk reduction strategies in line with national disaster risk reduction strategies
2. Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning
- Number of countries with nationally determined contributions, long-term strategies, national adaptation plans, strategies as reported in adaptation communications and national communications
- Total greenhouse gas emissions per year
3. Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning
- Extent to which (i) global citizenship education and (ii) education for sustainable development are mainstreamed in (a) national education policies; (b) curricula; (c) teacher education; and (d) student assessment
a. Implement the commitment undertaken by developed-country parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to a goal of mobilizing jointly $100 billion annually by 2020 from all sources to address the needs of developing countries in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation and fully operationalize the Green Climate Fund through its capitalization as soon as possible
- Amounts provided and mobilized in United States dollars per year in relation to the continued existing collective mobilization goal of the $100 billion commitment through to 2025
b. Promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in least developed countries and small island developing States, including focusing on women, youth and local and marginalized communities
- Number of least developed countries and small island developing States with nationally determined contributions, long-term strategies, national adaptation plans, strategies as reported in adaptation communications and national communications
