Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns on Earth, often over several decades or longer.

# data[].attributes.body
While natural factors like volcanic eruptions or changes in the sun’s activity can cause climate variations, the current rapid warming is primarily driven by human activities—especially the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas—which release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

# data[].attributes.body
These gases trap heat, causing the Earth's average surface temperature to rise, a phenomenon often called global warming.

# data[].attributes.body
That is why we are facing issues such as rising sea levels, shrinking glaciers, more frequent and severe extreme weather events (such as heatwaves, storms, and droughts), and disruptions to ecosystems and agriculture.

SDG 13 focuses on taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.

It comprises of 4 targets.

# data[].attributes.body
Target 1: 💪🏼

Enhance the ability of all countries to withstand and adapt to climate-related hazards and natural disasters.

Target 2: ⚖️

Incorporate climate change actions into national policies, strategies, and development plans.

Target 3: 🧠

Strengthen education, awareness, and the capacity of individuals and institutions to mitigate climate change, adapt to its effects, reduce impacts, and provide early warnings.

These modes emit far fewer emissions than driving. Living car-free can reduce your carbon footprint by up to 2 tons of CO2 annually. Buses and trains are also more efficient per passenger than cars.

# data[].attributes.body
If you must drive, share rides and avoid rapid acceleration and braking. Remember to keep your car well-maintained, and use cruise control to save fuel.

# data[].attributes.body
Air travel is highly carbon-intensive. Opt for trains, buses, or virtual meetings instead of flying whenever possible. Reducing flights is especially impactful for those in higher-income brackets who fly frequently.

Target 4: 🇺🇳🤝🏼

Encourage and support capacity-building initiatives for climate change planning and management in the least developed countries and small island developing states.

It is pledged by developed countries under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change to jointly mobilise $100 billion annually by 2020 from various sources to support developing countries with effective mitigation efforts and transparent implementation, and fully activate the Green Climate Fund by securing its funding as soon as possible.
