Managing the Trade-Offs of Transformation Through Foreign Policy

This climate diplomacy essay discusses the role of foreign policy and the diplomatic cadre in managing the trade-offs and synergies associated with the radical transformation required by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

• The radical transformation required by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) necessitates the anticipation and management of trade-offs, with the diplomatic cadre playing a key role in maximizing synergies, mitigating negative knock-on effects, and creating strategies for mutual benefit.
• There is a lack of alignment between peacebuilding and climate adaptation efforts, although aligning these two areas can improve long-term stability, legitimacy, and resilience.
