Lesson details
Key learning points
- SDG progress has been slower than expected due to challenges like global events, political changes & economic setbacks.
- Despite positive steps, such as renewable energy growth, the SDGs are not currently on track to meet their targets.
- For LICs, transitioning to renewable energy can take up a large share of GDP, hindering development.
Keywords
Policy - courses of action or goals that people plan to carry out or are in the process of carrying out
Climate action - efforts taken to combat climate change and its impacts
Industrialisation - the process of developing and expanding industries in a country or region
Common misconception
Climate action is positive for all of the world.
Climate action aims to benefit the world, but creates political challenges. Whilst low income countries are asked to reduce industries, some of the world's largest polluters are wealthy nations, creating an imbalance in responsibility.
