SDG 2030 Initiatives

Climate change is a global crisis that affects everyone and is advancing faster than anticipated due to human activities and greenhouse gas emissions. Its consequences—ranging from severe weather shifts to rising sea levels—threaten life on earth and could reverse years of developmental progress, sparking mass migrations, instability, and even conflict.

To prevent the worst outcomes, urgent action is needed to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Achieving this goal requires cutting emissions by nearly half by 2030, though current progress falls far short.

Transformative action, not just plans and promises, is essential. Governments and economies must raise their ambitions, commit to climate-resilient development, and chart clear paths toward net-zero emissions. Immediate steps are vital to avoid catastrophic consequences and secure a sustainable future.
