The goals that could be affected either positively or negatively include, poverty reduction and reducing inequalities (SDGs 1, 10, 5), food security (SDG 2), health issues (SDG 3), water availability (SDG 6), energy access and energy poverty (SDG 7), economic growth and employment (SDG 8), industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9) and climate action (SDG 13).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>To maximize synergies between the two agreements and to support national policy making within climate and development issues, interactions between climate policies and the SDGs need to be better understood. The research project \u2018Linking Climate and Development Policies \u2013 Leveraging International Networks and Knowledge Sharing\u2019 (CD-LINKS) brings together a consortium of 19 leading international research organizations to explore national and global climate transformation strategies and their linkages to a range of SDGs. The project is financed by the European Commission\u2019s Horizon 2020 programme.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This side event will introduce the most recent outcomes of the CD-LINKS project. The strategies required to reach the 1.5 and 2\u00b0C targets will be presented along with a comparison of the current ambition level of the Nationally Determined Contributions. The implications of the low carbon transformation pathways for the SDGs will be assessed and presented, such as for poverty, food security, water, biodiversity, air pollution and health. Representatives of the Indian and Brazilian partners of the project will also present country-level strategies for climate transformation pathways that support the global target of staying well below 2\u00b0C, together with initial results on their impact on SDGs.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The German Development Institute\/Deutsches Institut f\u00fcr Entwicklungspolitik (DIE) will be hosting a CD-LINKS side-event at the Interconnections Zone during the 23rd Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 23, 6-17 November 2017).
