Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
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
Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning
Number of countries with nationally determined contributions, long-term strategies, national adaptation plans and adaptation communications, as reported to the secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
Total greenhouse gas emissions per year
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
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
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 and adaptation communications, as reported to the secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
Climate — Europe, Global
Too often, adaptation finance is treated as an exercise that begins only once a plan is finished. Building investment planning into resilience strategies from the start is key to turning plans on paper into bankable projects on the ground
Climate — Sub-Saharan Africa
A shrinking Lake Chad and increasingly erratic rains are pushing herders and farmers in the Sahel into conflict over water and land. Lasting peace depends on securing indigenous land rights, strengthening cross-border cooperation, and putting climate finance directly in local hands
Climate — Asia (Central, Eastern and Southern), Global
We can now predict many climate hazards months in advance, yet international finance still flows mainly after the damage is done. Closing that gap means funding preparedness when credible forecasts warn of danger, not only recovery once disaster hits
The war in Ukraine, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and El Niño are hitting global agrifood systems at once, just as the buffers that absorbed past shocks are running low. Preventing these disruptions from becoming food crises means tackling not only countries’ exposure to shocks but also the fragility that leaves them unable to respond
Climate — Asia (Central, Eastern and Southern), Pacific and South-eastern Asia
A green economy offers Asia greater resilience, new opportunities for growth, and a way to restore its depleted natural systems. Realizing it will require patient finance, closer public–private collaboration, and a firm focus on fairness
Food systems and sustainable agriculture — Europe
Origin Green can help drive the shift towards healthier, more resilient food systems
Cities — Europe, Global
Cities face difficult choices about how to invest in resilience as climate
pressures intensify. Valuing health, ecosystems, social inclusion, and reliable services alongside financial costs can help them choose fairer, more effective ways to adapt to climate change
Climate — Global
The SDGs do not lack science, legitimacy, or vision – they lack an operating system. A global digital commons can help countries move from reporting progress to delivering transformation by bringing together open data, integrated modeling, stakeholder co-design, and sustainable finance
Climate — Global
More frequent extreme weather events, as well as gradual changes to the global climate, are increasingly harming people and economies. Integrating climate risk into economic management can help unlock the finance needed to build resilience and protect progress towards the SDGs
Cities — Global
Across much of the Global South, formal housing markets fail to reach the people most in need of affordable homes. Recognizing incremental, community-driven housing systems is essential for achieving inclusive, climate-resilient cities
