The climate emergency and the Sustainable Development Goals are two major issues facing the world today. Both require enormous investments in new technology and infrastructure, together with transformative reforms in governance and management. With shrinking resources in the wake of COVID-19, can these two massive efforts be coordinated and aligned, or must they compete for scarce resources?
The academic and international development community is invited to provide evidence on policies and measures that can achieve the climate goals and SDFs at the same time. This symposium will provide input to the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26).
