Which Sustainable Development Goal emphasises measures to address climate change and strengthen climate resilience?
SDG-13
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Each goal targets one area of development.
Step 1 — SDG 13, 'Climate Action', calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. Its targets include strengthening resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and integrating climate measures into national policies.
Step 2 — So the goal that emphasises climate measures and climate resilience is SDG-13.
Step 3 — SDG 7 is about affordable and clean energy, SDG 10 about reduced inequalities and SDG 12 about responsible consumption and production; none of them is the climate goal.
SDG-13 option is correct.
