How can sustainable development be achieved for all while addressing global climate change?
Options for countries all over the world include a mix of technology development that lowers air pollution; increasing investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency, expanding urban public transport; improving waste and water management; and better planning for when disasters strike.
What is the impact of climate change on sustainable development?
This finding implies that future climate change will increase inequality across countries. Hence, climate change threatens not only economic growth (SDG 8) but it will also act as a poverty multiplier by increasing the number of poor people and by making poor people even poorer (SDG 1), as well as inequality (SDG 10).

How can sustainable design help us reduce climate change?
Green buildings and communities reduce landfill waste, enable alternative transportation use and encourage retention and creation of vegetated land areas and roofs. High-performing green buildings, particularly LEED-certified buildings, provide the means to reduce the climate impacts of buildings and their inhabitants.
