Key learning points
- SDG progress has been slower than expected due to challenges like global events, political changes & economic setbacks.

Common misconception
Climate action is positive for all of the world.
Climate action aims to benefit the world, but political issues arise. Low income and emerging countries are asked to reduce industries, while the top five polluters are developed nations, creating an imbalance in responsibility for climate action.
