Climate change is affecting every country on every continent, disrupting national economies and affecting lives. Weather patterns are changing, sea levels are rising, and weather events are becoming more extreme. As countries move toward rebuilding their economies after COVID-19, recovery plans can shape the 21st century economy in ways that are clean, green, healthy, safe and more resilient.
The current crisis is an opportunity for a profound, systemic shift towards a more sustainable economy that works for both people and the planet. This quiz deals with SDG 13: Climate Action, and how we can chart a safer and more sustainable future for the citizens of the world.
