Advancing the SDG push with equitable low-carbon pathways

UNDP Human Development Report stated we are at a pivotal moment in history where human activity has become the dominant force shaping our planet. Balancing human development with climate and environmental impacts is a key challenge for current and future generations.

This research provides foundational evidence for a concrete pathway that aligns investments in governance, social protection, green transitions, and digital infrastructure with energy equity and climate action. It pictures a world where all countries share the benefits and responsibilities of climate action fairly, especially between rich and low- and middle-income nations. The SDG Push × NDC 3.0 illustrates how we can mitigate environmental impacts, stimulate economic growth, and advance the 2030 Agenda.
