Stories and Examples for SDG 13 (Climate Action)

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. It emphasizes strengthening the resilience and adaptive capacity of countries to climate-related hazards and natural disasters. It calls on governments to: integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning; improve education, knowledge and awareness of how to mitigate climate change and adapt to its impacts.

This SDG is the centrepiece for developed countries to work with and assist developing countries on climate change.

The Government of Canada will ensure that Canada is a global leader in government operations that are net-zero, resilient and green. Led by the Centre for Greening Government of the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, the Government of Canada will transition to net-zero carbon and climate-resilient operations. It will do so while also reducing environmental impacts beyond carbon, including on waste, water and biodiversity.
