Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action)
The goal is aimed at integrating climate change measures, disaster risk measures
and sustainable natural resource management into national development strategies.
To minimize the human impact of geophysical disasters, the Goal calls for strengthening
resilience and adaptive capacity, including human and institutional capacity on
mitigation, adaptation, and early warning. Efforts at the national level - for adopting
green technologies, promoting the use of clean and modern source of energy, advocating
for behavioral change for sustainable use of resources, have to be complemented
by international cooperation on climate change since the causes and effects of climate
change transcend national boundaries.
