Policy relevance of IPCC reports for the sustainable development goals and beyond

Climate change and sustainability linkages provide opportunities to develop and implement synergistic strategies for climate actions and achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Thus, we synthesize the coverage of SDGs in the IPCC’s fifth and sixth assessment reports at a target level. Based on this reflection, we propose the seventh assessment cycle of the IPCC to cover SDGs holistically, using asystematic approach, breaking the Working Group silos, and contributing to the post-2030 agenda.
