Estimated median income loss or gain per person by 2050 due to climate change, compared to a scenario with no climate impacts (red colour indicates a loss, blue colour a gain). [1] An economic analysis of climate change uses economic tools and models to calculate the magnitude and distribution of damages caused by climate change.
The official mission statement of this goal is to "Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts". [1] SDG 13 and SDG 7 on clean energy are closely related and complementary.
