United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
Open Access Week 2022 helps raise awareness on the unequal impacts of climate change and promotes the urgent need to freely share the climate science knowledge essential to creating solutions for everyone.
The UN recognizes that climate change is inequitable. Those countries emitting the least amount of the green house gases responsible for climate change are the most likely to experience the effects of global warming, such as flooding, sea-level rise, and droughts.
The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were created to reduce inequality, end extreme poverty, and protect the planet by 2030.
Goal 13 is specific to climate change: 
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
