Working together to achieve the Paris climate goals and sustainable development

This research paper by the NewClimate Institute argues that achieving the Paris Agreement goals and the 2030 Agenda requires a systemic transformation of global development, with a specific focus on providing incentives and frameworks for developing countries and emerging economies.

• The period leading up to 2030 is critical for stabilizing the global temperature increase at 1.5°C and achieving the Paris Agreement's objectives. Failure to meet these goals would permanently obstruct the possibility of achieving just and sustainable global development.
• Successful implementation of the Paris Agreement depends on prioritizing the needs of developing countries and emerging economies through effective incentives, increased international climate finance, and the creation of local frameworks that foster ownership and capacity to act.
• To facilitate systemic transformation, priority should be given to five specific action areas: the modernization of global energy production, climate-friendly urbanization, low-emission global food security, the conservation of forests and ecosystems, and sustainable water use.
