THIS PRESENTATION WILL HELP THE IMPORTANCE OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS IN CURBING GLOBAL WARMING

1. IMPORTANCE OF SDGs IN CURBING GLOBAL WARMING

2. SCHEME OF PRESENTATION Introduction Historical Background Threat Perception SDGs and Global Warming SDGs Curb Global Warming Success Stories Challenges and Barriers Policy Recommendations and Strategies Conclusion

3. 17 global goals adopted by the UN SDG No 13 linked to global warming Serve as universal call of action Significance of SDGs lies in comprehensive approach Provide a framework for countries, organizations, and individuals INTRODUCTION

4. Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities, primarily the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and subsequent climate change INTRODUCTION

5. Impact of Global Warming Temperature Rise Melting Ice and Rising Sea Levels Extreme Weather Events Ocean Acidification Biodiversity Loss Disruption of Ecosystems Agriculture and Food Security Health Impacts Migration and Conflict INTRODUCTION

6. Importance of SDGs in Combating Global Warming Integrating Climate Action Promoting Renewable Energy Sustainable Urban Planning Responsible Consumption and Production Enhances Climate Resilience INTRODUCTION

7. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The historical background of the importance of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in curbing global warming is rooted in a series of international efforts and milestones aimed at addressing environmental challenges and promoting sustainable development

8. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Pre-SDGs Era: Environmental Awareness and International Cooperation 1970s-1980s 1990s- 2000s Emergence of Sustainable Development Goals 2000s 2012 Adaption of SDGs and their significance in Curbing Global Warming 2015

9. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Significance of SDGs in Curbing Global Warming Integration of Climate Action Global Commitment and Collaboration

10. THREAT PERCEPTION The threat perception revolves around several critical aspects that underscore the urgency and significance of addressing climate change through a holistic and coordinated approach

11. Climate Change Impacts Environmental Degradation Social and Economic Vulnerabilities Global Health Risks Resource Scarcity and Conflict THREAT PERCEPTION

12. Clean and Affordable Energy (SDG 7 ) Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11 ) Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12 ) Climate Action (SDG 13 ) Life Below Water and Life on Land (SDG 14 and 15) SDGs CURB GLOBAL WARMING

13. Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17 ) SDGs CURB GLOBAL WARMING

14. Renewable Energy Transition Case Study: Germany's Energiewende Germany's Energiewende (Energy Transition) is a notable success story in transitioning towards renewable energy sources. Through policies incentivizing renewable energy production, investments in solar and wind power, and community-led initiatives, Germany has significantly reduced its reliance on fossil fuels and lowered greenhouse gas emissions. Energiewende demonstrates how SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) contributes to curbing global warming while promoting economic growth and energy security SUCCESS STORIES

15. Sustainable Urban Development Case Study: Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen's sustainable urban development strategies have transformed the city into a global leader in green infrastructure and sustainable transportation. Investments in cycling infrastructure, green roofs, district heating, and renewable energy have reduced carbon emissions and improved air quality. Copenhagen's success aligns with SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and showcases how sustainable urban planning can mitigate global warming while enhancing quality of life SUCCESS STORIES

16. Climate Resilience and Adaptation Case Study: The Netherlands' Delta Works The Netherlands' Delta Works is an engineering marvel that protects against flooding and sea-level rise. Through a system of dams, dikes, and floodgates, the project has safeguarded coastal areas, mitigated climate risks, and preserved valuable ecosystems. The Delta Works exemplify SDG 13 (Climate Action) and demonstrate how proactive adaptation measures can address the impacts of global warming SUCCESS STORIES

17. Public-Private Partnerships Case Study: The RE100 Initiative The RE100 initiative brings together leading companies committed to sourcing 100% renewable energy. Through collaboration and shared goals, companies have accelerated the transition to clean energy, reduced carbon footprints, and inspired broader climate action. The RE100 initiative exemplifies SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) and underscores the importance of public-private partnerships in achieving sustainable development objectives SUCCESS STORIES

18. While Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) hold immense promise in curbing global warming, several challenges and barriers hinder their effective implementation CHALLENGES & BARRIERS

19. Lack of Political Will and Commitment Insufficient Funding and Investment Technological and Innovation Gaps Socioeconomic Inequalities and Vulnerabilities Institutional and Governance Challenges Lack of Public Awareness and Engagement CHALLENEGES & BARRIERS

20. Global Coordination and Cooperation Climate Change Denial and Misinformation CHALLENEGES & BARRIERS Navigating these challenges and overcoming barriers requires concerted efforts, innovative solutions, and transformative actions across sectors and stakeholders. By addressing these complexities and fostering inclusive, resilient, and sustainable development pathways, we can accelerate progress towards achieving SDGs and mitigating the impacts of global warming for a more sustainable future

21. Effective policy frameworks and strategies are crucial in addressing the pressing challenge of global warming and advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Policy Recommendations

22. Strengthening Climate Governance Implementing Ambitious Climate Targets Investing in Climate Resilience and Adaptation Enhancing Climate Finance and Investment Promoting Sustainable Land Use and Conservation Promoting Climate Education and Awareness Policy Recommendations

23. embracing Sustainable Development Goals as a guiding framework and implementing targeted actions across sectors and stakeholders are crucial in curbing global warming, promoting sustainability, and building a resilient future for current and future generations Conclusion
