The year 2015 is potentially historic, marked by the alignment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and a novel international climate action treaty. This synergy signifies a pivotal moment for steering human development toward sustainability. The documents underline the inherent connection between climate and development, recognizing that addressing the climate challenge significantly impacts the achievement of various SDGs, and vice versa. The research paper synthesizes the relationship between Sustainable Development Goal 13 and the global climate action policy within the Climate Change framework. Additionally, it offers insights into the strategies employed to meet the ambitious temperature targets of the Paris Agreement, aiming for a rise of less than 2°C above preindustrial levels and even more stringent efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C. The study also underscores a notable gap in implementing climate action to combat climate change.
