Since 2015, the International Community has adopted a series of Global Agendas for the World We Want, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the New Urban Agenda, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction as well as the Addis Abeba Action Agenda (AAAA).
In this new dynamic for the Population and the Planet, climate change represents one of the greatest challenges to which they are exposed. The climatic changes represents today the determining and crucial question of our time and affect all the countries of the world and especially the African countries. Even though it is environmental in nature, the consequences of these changes are more global in nature, such as poverty, economic development, population growth, migratory movements, resource management and allocation, as well as sustainable development. Therefore, climate change is a global emergency that transcends national borders. It is a problem that calls for coordinated solutions at all levels and international cooperation to ensure that countries are able to move to a low-carbon economy.
In order to tackle climate change and its adverse effects on the Planet and its Population, it is worth recalling the SDG 13 which calls for “Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts” by aiming to strengthen the resilience and adaptive capacity of countries to climate hazards and disasters, with a focus on capacity building in least developed countries and small island developing States [Read More].
