The Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals: evolving connections

Summary

This policy brief builds on updated data from the NDC-SDG Connections tool to analyse how countries’ climate commitments under the Paris Agreement have developed over time in relation to the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development.There is growing evidence that climate action necessitates a transition that addresses all dimensions of sustainability. Similarly, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda cannot be successfully implemented without strong action on climate change. The NDC-SDG Connections tool, developed jointly by SEI and the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS), shows how activities in countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) connect to all 17 SDGs.
