Climate change and biodiversity loss could jeopardize efforts to fulfill the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Capping the rise in global temperatures to below 2°C – or even to 1.5 °C if possible – to reduce excessive environmental damage, means supporting low-carbon development models.
