This report has underscored the fact that global temperature in 2011-2020 was already 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels and catastrophic, intensifying, and widespread extreme events have become far more frequent, affecting millions. This trend has consequently driven the prevalence of food insecurity; contributed to mass migration; and impaired health at a cost of billions of dollars in loss and damage. Meanwhile, the recent Sustainable Development Goals Report 2023: Special Edition paints a sobering picture of progress towards achieving the SDGs by 2030, stating: “Halfway to the deadline for the 2030 Agenda, we are leaving more than half the world behind. Progress on more than 50% of SDG targets is weak and insufficient; on 30% it has stalled or gone into reverse. These include key targets on poverty, hunger, and climate. Unless we act now, the 2030 Agenda could become an epitaph for a world that might have been”.
