From 2018–20, the Jean Monnet Sustainable Development Goals Network Seminar Series will address each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each seminar focuses on an individual Goal, offering an opportunity to explore the intent of the Goal, its targets, and some of the initiatives being undertaken to deliver on them.

Each seminar will be accompanied by a Policy Brief.

Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action. SDG 13 aims to ‘take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts'. What does this mean, and how will this be achieved? What projects are already underway to deliver on this goal?
