SDG 13: Climate Action. Act Today for Tomorrow.

On September 25^th 2015 countries embrace 17 sustainable development goals which they want to be achieved by 2030. One of the most important goals is climate action because it affects all countries. It affects their lives, their economies and their communities.  It is prescribed that without any action to protect the environment, in 21^st century the surface temperature will rise and will affect the entire world and namely the poorest countries of this world.

In the Paris Agreement on December 12, 2015 countries agreed to work on projects in order to limit the global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius and strive to achieve 1.5 degrees Celsius.
