Abstract

The Special Report on 1.5°C assesses three main themes:
• What would be required to limit warming to
1.5°C (mitigation pathways)
• The impacts of 1.5°C of warming, compared
to 2ºC and higher
• Strengthening the global response to climate
change; mitigation and adaptation options
The connections between climate change
and sustainable development and efforts to
eradicate poverty are discussed throughout
the report.

This chapter takes sustainable development as the starting point
and focus for analysis. It considers the broad and multifaceted
bi-directional interplay between sustainable development, including
its focus on eradicating poverty and reducing inequality in their
multidimensional aspects, and climate actions in a 1.5°C warmer world.
These fundamental connections are embedded in the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). The chapter also examines synergies
and trade-offs of adaptation and mitigation options with sustainable
development and the SDGs and offers insights into possible pathways,
especially climate-resilient development pathways towards a 1.5°C warmer world.
