Connections between the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda

The research examines the alignment between the Paris Agreement's NDCs and the 2030 Agenda's SDGs, finding that while many climate activities support goals like affordable energy and life on land, significant gaps remain regarding gender equality, poverty, and peace and justice. The authors argue that improving transparency and aligning Nationally Sustainable Development Strategies (NSDSs) with NDCs can enhance policy coherence and increase ambition.

• Climate actions in NDCs foster synergies with national development priorities reflecting the 2030 Agenda, with strong support for SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy), SDG 15 (life on land), and SDG 2 (zero hunger).
• There are significant gaps in NDC activities regarding certain sustainable development goals, specifically SDG 5 (gender equality), SDG 1 (no poverty), and SDG 16 (peace and justice).
• To improve policy coherence, the authors recommend that countries align their Nationally Sustainable Development Strategies (NSDSs) with NDCs to avoid duplication and that updated NDCs incorporate existing NSDSs to increase stakeholder buy-in and ambition.
