Background
Webinar 1 provided participants with evidence they can use to advocate for climate & SDG synergies in their local context. Speakers illustrated and introduced evidence demonstrating the potential to tie climate action to higher levels of job growth and poverty reduction; human health; financing; food security; and resilience.
Guiding Questions:
- How can SDG & Climate synergies be applied to generate jobs and sustain livelihoods? How are these benefits directed to the most vulnerable and poorest?
- What financial gains or benefits can be realized by applying SDGs & Climate synergies?
- What links human health to climate action and other SDGs? What examples best illustrate?
- With increased food insecurity, how do we make the case for climate & SDGs synergies in agriculture and related sectors?
