Sustainable Development Goal 13 (SDG 13 or Global Goal 13) is the United Nations Global Goal to limit and adapt to climate change. It is one of 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015. The official mission statement of this goal is to "Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts".United Nations (2017) Resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 6 July 2017, Work of the Statistical Commission pertaining to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development ([https://undocs.org/A/RES/71/313 A/RES/71/313]) SDG 13 and SDG 7 on clean energy are closely related and complementary.{{rp|101}}
SDG 13 has five targets which are to be achieved by 2030. They cover a wide range of issues surrounding climate action. The first three targets are outcome targets. The first target is to strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity towards climate change-related disasters. The second target is to integrate climate change measures into policies and planning. The third target is to build knowledge and capacity. The remaining two targets are means of implementation targets{{cite journal |last1=Bartram |first1=Jamie |last2=Brocklehurst |first2=Clarissa |last3=Bradley |first3=David |last4=Muller |first4=Mike |last5=Evans |first5=Barbara |date=December 2018 |title=Policy review of the means of implementation targets and indicators for the sustainable development goal for water and sanitation |journal=npj Clean Water |volume=1 |issue=1 |pages=3 |doi=10.1038/s41545-018-0003-0 |s2cid=169226066 |doi-access=free|bibcode=2018npjCW...1....3B }} 50x50px Text was copied from this source, which is available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. These include implementing the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and to promote mechanisms to raise capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management. Along with each target, there are indicators that provide a method to review the overall progress of each target. The UNFCCC is the main intergovernmental forum for negotiating the global response to climate change.
Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, nations collectively agreed to keep warming "well under 2°C". However, with pledges made under the Agreement, global warming would still reach about {{convert|2.7|C-change}} by the end of the century.
As of 2020, many countries are now implementing their national climate change adaptation plans.{{rp|15}}

Reducing emissions requires generating electricity from low-carbon sources rather than burning fossil fuels. This change includes phasing out coal and natural gas fired power plants, vastly increasing use of wind, solar, and other types of renewable energy, and reducing energy use.M. Pathak, R. Slade, P.R.

Targets, indicators and progress
{{Further|List of SDG targets and indicators}}
SDG 13 has five targets. The targets include to strengthening resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related disasters (Target 13.1), integrate climate change measures into policies and planning (Target 13.2), build knowledge and capacity to meet climate change (Target 13.3), implement the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (Target 13.a), and promote mechanisms to raise capacity for planning and management (Target 13.b).{{Cite web|title=Goal 13 Climate Action|url=https://www.globalgoals.org/13-climate-action|access-date=14 September 2020|website=The Global Goals for Sustainable Development}}
Each target includes one or more indicators that help to measure and monitor the progress. Some of the indicators are number of deaths, missing people and directly affected people attributed to disasters per 100,000 population (13.1.1) or total greenhouse emissions generated by year (13.2.2.)

= Target 13.2: Integrate climate change measures into policy and planning =
The full text of Target 13.2 is: "Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning".
This target has two indicators:
- Indicator 13.2.1: "Number of countries with nationally determined contributions, long-term strategies, national adaptation plans, strategies as reported in adaptation communications and national communications".
- Indicator 13.2.2: "Total greenhouse gas emissions per year"
In order to stay under 1.5{{Nbsp}}°C of global warming, carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from G20 countries need to decline by about 45% by 2030 and attain net zero in 2050.{{cite web|title=Report of the Secretary General on the 2019 Climate Action Summit and the way Forward in 2020|url=https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/assets/pdf/cas_report_11_dec.pdf|access-date=11 September 2020|website=United Nations|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200904223848/https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/assets/pdf/cas_report_11_dec.pdf|archive-date=4 September 2020}} To be able to meet the 1.5 °C or even 2 °C, which is the maximum set by the Paris Agreement, greenhouse gas emissions must start to fall by 7.6% per year starting on 2020.{{cite web|title=SDG Report 2020|url=https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/report/2020/goal-13/|access-date=11 September 2020|website=UN Stats}} However, there is a large gap between these overall temperature targets and the nationally determined contributions set by individual countries. Between 2000 and 2018, greenhouse gas emissions of transition economies and developed countries have declined by 6.5%. In contrast, developing countries saw their emissions go up by 43% between 2000 and 2013.
As of 2015, 170 countries are a part of at least one multilateral environmental agreement,{{Cite web |title=Goal 13: Climate Action - SDG Tracker |url=https://sdg-tracker.org/climate-change |access-date=2022-12-03 |website=Our World in Data |language=en}} with each year having an increase in the number of countries signing onto environmental agreements.
= Target 13.3: Build knowledge and capacity to meet climate change =
The full text of Target 13.3 is: "Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning".
This target has two indicators:
- Indicator 13.3.1: "The extent to which (i) global citizenship education and (ii) education for sustainable development are mainstreamed in (a) national education policies; (b) curricula; (c) teacher education; and (d) student assessment"
- Indicator 13.3.2: "Number of countries that have communicated the strengthening of institutional, systemic and individual capacity-building to implement adaptation, mitigation and technology transfer, and development actions"
The indicator 13.3.1 measures the extent to which countries mainstream Global Citizenship Education (GCED) and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in their education systems and educational policies.{{cite web|last1=United Nations|title=United Nations Stats, SDG 13, Target 3|url=https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-13-03-01.pdf|access-date=11 September 2020|website=United Nations Stats}}
The indicator 13.3.2 identifies countries who have and have not adopted and implemented disaster risk management strategies in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. The goal by 2030 is to strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries.
To explain the concept of "Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship seeks to equip learners with the knowledge of how their choices impact others and their immediate environment.{{Cite web|last=Goal 13|first=Indicator 13.31|title=sustainable development goals|url=https://sdgdata.gov.uk/13-3-1/}}
There is currently no data available for this indicator as of September 2020.
= Target 13.a: Implement the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change =
File:Green-climate-gcf-fund-pledges.png
The full text of Target 13.a is: "Implement the commitment undertaken by developed-country parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to a goal of mobilizing jointly $100 billion annually by 2020 from all sources to address the needs of developing countries in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation and fully operationalize the Green Climate Fund through its capitalization as soon as possible."
This target only has one indicator: Indicator 13.a is the "Amounts provided and mobilized in United States dollars per year in relation to the continued existing collective mobilization goal of the $100 billion commitment through to 2025".{{Cite web|date=17 April 2020|title=SDG Indicator changes (15 October 2018 and onward) - current to 17 April 2020|url=https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/files/List_of_changes_since_15_Oct_2018.pdf|access-date=10 September 2020|website=United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Statistics Division}}
Previously, the indicator was worded as "Mobilized amount of United States dollars per year between 2020 and 2025 accountable towards the $100 billion commitment".
This indicator measures the current pledged commitments from countries to the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the amounts provided and mobilized in United States dollars (USD) per year in relation to the continued existing collective mobilization goal of the US$100 billion commitment to 2025.
A report by the UN stated in 2020 that the financial flows for global climate finance as well as for renewable energy are "relatively small in relation to the scale of annual investment needed for a low-carbon, climate-resilient transition".{{rp|15}}
= Target 13.b: Promote mechanisms to raise capacity for planning and management =
{{Further|Climate communication}}
The full text of Target 13.b is: "Promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in least developed countries and small island developing States, including focusing on women, youth and local and marginalized communities acknowledging that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is the primary international, intergovernmental forum for negotiating the global response to climate change."
This target has one indicator: Indicator 13.b.1 is the "Number of least developed countries and small island developing states with nationally determined contributions, long-term strategies, national adaptation plans, strategies as reported in adaptation communications and national communications".
A previous version of this indicator was: "Indicator 13.b.1: Number of least developed countries and small island developing states that are receiving specialized support, and amount of support, including finance, technology and capacity building, for mechanisms for raising capacities for effective climate change-related planning and management, including focusing on women, youth and local and marginalized communities." This indicator's previous focus on women, youth and local and marginalized communities is not included anymore in the latest version of the indicator.
Annual UN reports are monitoring how many countries are implementing national adaptation plans.{{rp|15}}

SDG 13 does not directly address the link between nations most vulnerable to climate change and increased migration flows (climate migration). It therefore misses the chance to recognize migration as an adaptive response of mobile populations.{{Cite journal |last1=Adger |first1=W Neil |last2=Boyd |first2=Emily |last3=Fábos |first3=Anita |last4=Fransen |first4=Sonja |last5=Jolivet |first5=Dominique |last6=Neville |first6=George |last7=de Campos |first7=Ricardo Safra |last8=Vijge |first8=Marjanneke J |date=2019 |title=Migration transforms the conditions for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals |journal=The Lancet Planetary Health |language=en |volume=3 |issue=11 |pages=e440–e442 |doi=10.1016/S2542-5196(19)30213-X |pmid=31777332 |doi-access=free |hdl-access=free |hdl=10871/40121}} 50x50px Text was copied from this source, which is available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License Weather-related disasters displace millions of people, but the goal's focus on national policies overlooks the role of migration.
