Global Report on Climate and SDG Synergies
13 and 16 September 2023
The first was launched on 13 September at an from the SDG Studio, with presentations by some of the Expert Group members who wrote the report and remarks by leadership from UN DESA and UNFCCC, which co-convened the Group and organized the event. A more in-depth discussion on the report's findings was also held at a side event on 16 September during SDG Action Weekend. Participants discussed the growing evidence base that aggressively acting on climate and the SDGs in an integrated and synergistic way is an important opportunity to achieve the course correction the UN Secretary-General has called for, with co-benefits far outweighing trade-offs. Remarks focused on existing barriers and the ten recommendations in the report to support enhanced policy coherence and coordination at national and international levels.
