Climate change impacts various aspects of United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) including health, education, poverty reduction, economic growth, gender equality, besides exacerbating food insecurity and malnutrition, according to a report presented during the ongoing Think20 Summit in Mysuru.
The report titled “Our Uncommon Future: Intersectionality of Climate Change and SDGs in the Global South” recognises the differentiated impact of climate change on global north and global south.
“Despite climate change being posed as a global common, its impacts are differentiated. The differential impacts of global climate change on the global north and south definitely does not augur well with posing the hypothesis as “common future” for the planet. Therefore, this volume takes up the case for differentiated future, keeping in mind the concerns of the global south; that makes the case for an ‘uncommon’ future,” the report said.
