Take Urgent Action To Combat Climate Change And Its Impacts - The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13

The UN explains: "Affordable, scalable solutions are now available to enable countries to leapfrog to cleaner, more resilient economies. The pace of change is quickening as more people are turning to renewable energy and a range of other measures that will reduce emissions and increase adaptation efforts."

Further data and statistics can be found at the Our World in Data entry on CO2 and Other Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

The UN has defined 5 Targets and 8 Indicators for SDG 13. Targets specify the goals and Indicators represent the metrics by which the world aims to track whether these Targets are achieved. Below we quote the original text of all Targets and show the data on the agreed Indicators.

How is the world doing on this goal?

Target 13.3: Build knowledge and capacity to meet climate change

UN definition: "Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction, and early warning."

Education on climate change - SDG Indicator 13.3.1

Definition: Indicator 13.3.1 is the "number of countries that have integrated mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction, and early warning into primary, secondary and tertiary curricula".

Goal: By 2030 "improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction, and early warning".

Capacity-building for climate change - SDG Indicator 13.3.2

Definition: Indicator 13.3.2 is the "number of countries that have communicated the strengthening of institutional, systemic and individual capacity-building to implement adaptation, mitigation and technology transfer, and development actions".

Goal: By 2030 "improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction, and early warning".

Target 13.A: Implement then UN Framework Convention on Climate Change

UN definition: "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."

Green Climate Fund mobilization of $100 billion - SDG Indicator 13.A.1

Definition: Indicator 13.A.1 is the "mobilized amount of United States dollars per year between 2020 and 2025 accountable towards the $100 billion commitment".



This indicator measures the current pledged commitments from countries to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) as annual US$ contributions pledged. Also shown is the collective global total.

Goal: "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"

Unlike most SDG targets which have a set target year of 2030, this indicator requires mobilization of $100 billion per year from 2020 onwards.

Target 13.B: Promote mechanisms to raise capacity for planning and management

UN definition: "Promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in the least developed countries and small island developing States, including focusing on women, youth and local and marginalized communities."
