Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 refers to "Climate Action". It is one of the 17 goals established by the United Nations in their 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The primary objective of SDG13 is to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. It recognises that climate change is a global challenge that requires immediate attention and concerted efforts from governments, businesses, communities, and individuals worldwide. SDG13 permeates a number of SDGs and also influences them in a significant way. Based on the need to contextualise SDG13 and considering its role as one of the central SDGs, this article outlines the links between SDG13 and the other SDGs. It also reports on a survey involving experts from 61 countries. The findings suggest that even though climate change impacts, particularly extreme weather events, are known to disproportionally affect poorer and minoritized communities, the synergies among related goals and climate justice seem to receive less attention. The article concludes by describing some of the means via which synergies between SDG13 and other SDGs may be achieved.
可持续发展目标13（SDG 13）指的是“气候行动”。它是联合国在其《2030年可持续发展议程》中确立的17个目标之一。SDG13的主要目标是采取紧急行动应对气候变化及其影响。它认识到气候变化是一项全球性挑战，需要全球各国政府、企业、社区和个人立即予以关注并共同努力。SDG13贯穿多个可持续发展目标，也对它们产生重大影响。基于将SDG13置于具体情境的必要性，并考虑到其作为核心可持续发展目标之一的作用，本文概述了SDG13与其他可持续发展目标之间的联系。文章还报告了一项涉及61个国家专家的调查。调查结果表明，尽管已知气候变化影响，尤其是极端天气事件，对较贫困和少数群体社区的影响尤为严重，但相关目标与气候正义之间的协同效应似乎较少受到关注。文章最后描述了实现SDG13与其他可持续发展目标之间协同效应的一些途径。
