What are the SDGs?
The SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) are a set of 17 goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015 to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all.

The text mentions the following SDGs:
1. SDG 1: No Poverty 2. SDG 2: Zero Hunger 3. SDG 13: Climate Action 4. SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions 5. SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals
What is the nexus between SDGs and Climate Action?
The nexus refers to the connections and relationships between the SDGs and Climate Action (SDG 13). Here's how they are linked:
- SDG 1 (No Poverty): Climate change can push people into poverty, and poverty can increase vulnerability to climate change.
- SDG 2 (Zero Hunger): Climate change can impact agricultural productivity, leading to food insecurity and hunger.
- SDG 13 (Climate Action): Addressing climate change requires reducing greenhouse gas emissions, transitioning to renewable energy sources, and promoting sustainable land use.
- SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions): Climate change can lead to conflict and social unrest, and strong institutions are needed to address these challenges.
- SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals): Achieving the SDGs, including Climate Action, requires partnerships and cooperation among governments, civil society, and the private sector.
In summary, the SDGs are interconnected, and addressing Climate Action (SDG 13) requires considering the nexus with other SDGs, such as poverty, hunger, peace, and partnerships.
