Frontier Technologies to Protect the Environment and Tackle Climate Change







                          •    Global Stocktake (Art. 14) – A ‘global stocktake’, to take place in 2023 and every five
                               years thereafter, will assess collective progress towards achieving the purpose of the
                               Agreement in a comprehensive and facilitative manner. Its outcome will inform Parties
                               in updating and enhancing their actions and support and enhancing international
                               cooperation on climate action.



                      Sustainable Development Goal 13: ‘Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts’
                                                                                                        93
                      was developed to guide and ensure a comprehensive response to the many facets of climate change.
                      The goal is accompanied by the following environment-related targets: 94
                      Target 13.1: Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural
                      disasters in all countries.

                      Target 13.2: Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning
                      (including urban planning).

                      Target 13.3: Improve education, awareness raising and human and institutional capacity on climate
                      change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning.

                      Target 13.a: Implement the commitment undertaken by developed-country Parties to the United
                      Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to a goal of mobilizing jointly USD 100
                      billion annually by 2020 from all sources to address the needs of developing countries in the context
                      of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation, and fully operationalize the
                      Green Climate Fund (GCF) through its capitalization as soon as possible.
                      Target 13.b: Promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning
                      and management in Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States, including focusing
                      on women, youth and local and marginalized communities.
                      As mentioned previously, global progress towards each of these targets is so far inconsistent, as
                      summarized in Figure 6.
