Summary
The 2025 Global Report on Climate and SDG Synergies quantifies the global benefits of tackling the climate crisis and sustainable development together. It draws on insights from three thematic reports—focusing on disaster risk insurance, nature-based solutions, and health in cities—launched during the 2025 High-Level Political Forum in July.
