SDG 13 Round Table

Solving the Rubik’s cube of the planetary crisis: lining up policy solutions for climate risks and biodiversity loss

The first half of the round table focused on the importance of strengthening preparedness to climate extremes through multi-hazard early warning systems, building on the Early Warnings for All (EW4All) initiative of the UN Secretary General, which aims at spearheading action to ensure every person on Earth is protected by early warning systems by 2027. 

The second half of the roundtable explored the ways in which climate change and biodiversity loss can and should be addressed together with policies having largely tackled these challenges independently.
