It aims to address climate change by strengthening resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards, integrating climate change measures into policies and planning, improving education and capacity on climate change mitigation and adaptation, implementing the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, and promoting mechanisms to raise capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management, especially in vulnerable countries
. Key objectives include limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C, achieving greenhouse gas neutrality by mid-century, mobilizing climate finance, and enhancing global cooperation to reduce emissions and adapt to climate impacts
. The goal highlights the urgent need for transformative action to reduce emissions, shift to renewable energy, and build resilience to climate risks affecting ecosystems and billions of people worldwide
