What is SDG 13?
SDG 13, Climate Action, is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda. It calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts, and it covers strengthening resilience to climate-related hazards, bringing climate measures into policies and planning, and improving education and awareness on climate action.
What do climate change charities do?
Climate change charities work on reducing emissions and helping people cope with a changing climate. Typical work includes:
- Advocating for emissions reduction and stronger climate policy
- Helping climate-vulnerable communities adapt: flood defenses, drought-resilient farming, early warning systems
- Restoring ecosystems that store carbon and buffer extreme weather
- Climate education and public awareness campaigns
- Disaster preparedness and response in regions exposed to climate-related hazards
- Supporting the shift to clean energy at the community level
How to check a climate charity before you give
The same rules apply to climate charities as to any other: confirm the organization is registered, read its integrity assessment (it measures disclosure, not impact), look at its filings, and check who runs it. Environmental organizations vary widely in size and approach, but every organization listed here has a profile with exactly that. The five-step walkthrough is in our guide for donors.
