'''Sustainable Development Goal 13''' ('''SDG 13''' or '''Global Goal 13''') is to [[Climate change mitigation|limit]] and [[climate change adaptation|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 [[Effects of climate change|impacts]]".<ref name=":172">United Nations (2017) Resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 6 July 2017, [[:File:A RES 71 313 E.pdf|Work of the Statistical Commission pertaining to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development]] ([https://undocs.org/A/RES/71/313 A/RES/71/313])</ref> SDG 13 and [[Sustainable Development Goal 7|SDG 7]] on [[Sustainable energy|clean energy]] are closely related and complementary.<ref name="Energyreport2019" />{{rp|101}}
SDG 13 has five targetsopbolta which are to be achieved by 2030. They cover a wide range of issues surrounding climate action. The first three targets are ''outcome targets'': Strengthen resilience and [[adaptive capacity]] to climate-related [[disaster]]s; integrate climate change measures into policies and planning; [[Capacity building|build knowledge and capacity]] to meet climate change. The remaining two targets are ''means of implementation targets<ref name=":222">{{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}} [[File:CC-BY_icon.svg|50x50px]] Text was copied from this source, which is available under a [[creativecommons:by/4.0/|Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License]]</ref>'': To implement the [[United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change|UN Framework Convention on Climate Change]] (UNFCCC), and to promote mechanisms to raise capacity for planning and management.

The UNFCCC is the primary international, 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.<ref name="UNEP2021" />
