It is disrupting national economies and affecting lives, costing people, communities and countries dearly today and even more tomorrow. Weather patterns are changing, sea levels are rising, weather events are becoming more extreme and greenhouse gas emissions are now at their highest levels in history. Without action, the world\u2019s average surface temperature is likely to surpass 3 degrees centigrade this century. The poorest and most vulnerable people are being affected the most.<\/p>\n<p>Affordable, scalable solutions are now available to enable countries to leapfrog to cleaner, more resilient economies. The pace of change is quickening as more people are turning to renewable energy and a range of other measures that will reduce emissions and increase adaptation efforts. Climate change, however, is a global challenge that does not respect national borders. It is an issue that requires solutions that need to be coordinated at the international level to help developing countries move toward a low-carbon economy.<\/p>\n<p>To strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change, countries adopted the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sdgbeta\/parisagreement22april\/\"><u>Paris Agreement<\/u><\/a>\u00a0at the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sdgbeta\/cop21\/\"><u>COP21 in Paris<\/u><\/a>, which went into force in November of 2016. In the agreement, all countries agreed to work to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees centigrade. As of April 2018, 175 parties had ratified the Paris Agreement and 10 developing countries had submitted their first iteration of their national adaptation plans for responding to climate change.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div  class=\" tatsu-HyZ1LNEY37 tabs oshine-module\"  ><ul class=\"clearfix be-tab-header\"><li><a id=\"tatsu-rky84NFh7\" class=\"\" href=\"#fragment-1-1576458000\">Facts & Figures<\/a>  <\/li>\n<li><a id=\"tatsu-rkx1I4Ntnm\" class=\"\" href=\"#fragment-2-1576458000\">Goal 13 Targets<\/a>  <\/li>\n<li><a id=\"tatsu-rJbU4EFhQ\" class=\"\" href=\"#fragment-3-1576458000\">Links<\/a>  <\/li><\/ul><div id=\"fragment-1-1576458000\" class=\"clearfix be-tab-content\">\n<ul>\n<li>As of April 2018, 175 parties had ratified the Paris Agreement and 168 parties had communicated their first nationally determined contributions to the UN framework convention on Climate Change Secretariat.<\/li>\n<li>As of April 2018, 10 developing countries had successfully completed and submitted their first iteration of their national adaptation plans for responding to climate change.<\/li>\n<li>Developed country parties continue to make progress towards the goal of jointly mobilizing $100 billion annually by 2020 for mitigation actions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thanks to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change we know:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>From 1880 to 2012, average global temperature increased by 0.85\u00b0C<\/strong>. To put this into perspective, for each 1 degree of temperature increase, grain yields decline by about 5 per cent. Maize, wheat and other major crops have experienced significant yield reductions at the global level of 40 megatons per year between 1981 and 2002 due to a warmer climate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oceans have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished and sea level has risen.<\/strong>From 1901 to 2010, the global average sea level rose by 19 cm as oceans expanded due to warming and ice melted. The Arctic\u2019s sea ice extent has shrunk in every successive decade since 1979, with 1.07 million km\u00b2 of ice loss every decade<\/li>\n<li><strong>Given current concentrations and on-going emissions of greenhouse gases, it is likely that by the end of this century, the increase in global temperature will exceed 1.5\u00b0C compared to 1850 to 1900 for all but one scenario<\/strong>. The world\u2019s oceans will warm and ice melt will continue. Average sea level rise is predicted as 24 \u2013 30cm by 2065 and 40-63cm by 2100. Most aspects of climate change will persist for many centuries even if emissions are stopped<\/li>\n<li>Global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) have increased by almost 50 per cent since 1990<\/li>\n<li>Emissions grew more quickly between 2000 and 2010 than in each of the three previous decades<\/li>\n<li>It is still possible, using a wide array of technological measures and changes in behavior, to limit the increase in global mean temperature to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels<\/li>\n<li>Major institutional and technological change will give a better than even
