What is the news?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

As per the report released by\u00a0World Meteorological Organization (WMO),\u00a0the\u00a0rising concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) will impact all of the 17 United Nations-mandated Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The WMO studied seven climate indicators \u2014 CO2 concentration, temperature, ocean acidification and heat, sea ice extent, glacier melt and sea-level rise. It found that rising CO2 concentration due to human activities was a key driver of global climate change.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the consequences of the rising CO2 concentration?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

First,<\/strong><\/em> rising CO2 concentration and increasing global temperatures\u00a0would negatively impact efforts to combat climate change under the SDG 13, if left unchecked.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Second,<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0uncontrolled rising CO2 emissions would be indirectly responsible for risks related to the remaining six climate indicators, namely temperature, ocean acidification and heat, sea ice extent, glacier melt and sea-level rise.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Third,<\/strong><\/em> rising CO2 in water would cause ocean acidification, directly affecting SDG indicator 14.3.1 which addresses marine acidity.\u00a0This would affect the global goal on tackling poverty, SDG 1.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fourth<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0this\u00a0would also result in food insecurity (SDG indicator 2.1.2), particularly in low-income and rural areas dependent on local catch.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fifth<\/strong><\/em>, both food insecurity and loss of livelihood may drive conflicts related to resource management. It will threaten regional peace and stability (SDG 16.1).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sixth<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0ocean acidification caused by rising CO2 may threaten progress of several SDGs besides the SDG 14 about life below water.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Seventh<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0extreme events attributed to rising temperature affect rainfall patterns and groundwater availability.\u00a0This leads to a higher risk of water scarcity, directly affecting SDG 6 on access to water.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the recommendations?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

With\u00a0improved education (SDG 4), global partnerships (SDG 17) and sustainable consumption (SDG 12)\u00a0we can mitigate climate risks. <\/span><\/p>\n

The report aims to contribute to the sustainable development agenda and to inspire leaders to take bolder climate action.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
