GOAL 13.

TARGETS AND THINGS TO DO

Climate change is a real and undeniable threat to our entire civilization. The efects are already visible and

will be catastrophic unless we act now. By learning, coming up with new ideas, and sticking to our

promises to protect the environment, we can make the necessary changes to protect the planet. These

changes also provide huge opportunities to modernize our infrastructure which will create new jobs and

promote greater prosperity across the globe. Sustainable Development Goal 13 aims to “take urgent

action to combat climate change and its impact”, while acknowledging that the United Nations

Framework Convention on Climate Change is the primary international, intergovernmental forum for

negotiating the global response to climate change.

More specifcally, the associated targets of SDG 13 focus on the integration of climate change measures

into national policies, the improvement of education, awareness-raising and institutional capacity on

climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warnings.

THE WORLD'S TO DO LIST:

WE NEED URGENT ACTION | THE GLOBAL GOALS

With so many problems in the world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. But the good news is, we do have a

plan to deal with these issues.

HUNGARY COUNTRY PROFILE

SDGS AND THE ENVIRONMENT (CASE STUDY)

Hungary considers universal access to clean water and sanitation an important element of sustainable

development, which is why it highlights SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation) as a standalone goal. The

country’s other main environmental goals are combatting climate change (SDG 13), increasing biodiversity

(SDG 15), protecting renewable natural resources and ensuring the responsible management of

non-renewable resources (SDGs 7, 12) (Ministry of Foreign Afairs and Trade of Hungary, 2018).
