Abstract
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of objectives that were agreed by the
global community in 2015 as a “shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the
planet, now and into the future” [1]. Climate action is directly embodied in one of the seventeen
goals (SDG 13), in recognition of the extreme risks to humanity posed by the impacts of
climate change. However, as highlighted in a recent report by the World Meteorological Organization
[2], the intensifying effects of climate change are rapidly undermining progress on
almost all the SDGs. These interactions look set to become even more important as it appears
increasingly likely that we will exceed 1.5 C of warming.
