SDG 13

Examples of SDG 13: Climate Action in practice

SDG 13 urges urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. With rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and environmental degradation, climate change poses a serious threat to the planet and its inhabitants. This goal focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, transitioning to renewable energy sources, and building resilience to climate-related challenges. SDG 13 also emphasizes the importance of international cooperation, climate education, and sustainable policies that support mitigation and adaptation efforts. By taking collective action, SDG 13 aims to limit global warming and protect ecosystems for future generations. View more examples of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) here.

This frost acts as a lethal "kill switch," rupturing the plant’s cells and ending its life cycle for the season. This icy death is exactly why seeds require stratification; they must remain dormant to avoid being destroyed by the very cold seen here. Once this freezing cycle passes, the seeds finally receive the signal that it is safe to wake up and grow.

ART BORUPS CORNERS SOCIETY

Art Borups Corners is a non-profit arts incubator based in Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario. We bring artists, youth, and local residents together through hands-on creative projects, workshops, and storytelling rooted in everyday life in the North. Our focus is on making space for people to try things, share skills, and build confidence through art that grows out of where they live.


We’re also a place for testing ideas and working across different ways of making — from land-based practice to digital work and everything in between. Much of what we do happens through partnerships and shared projects, connecting local creative work with wider conversations while keeping things grounded, practical, and community-led.
