This event, organized by Climate Analytics, will discuss the strong potential for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement to mutually reinforce each other's ambition and results. It will provide insight into how delivering on the 1.5°C limit will not only avoid severe risks and damages, especially to the most vulnerable, but will contribute to global prosperity through enhanced food security, energy independence, health and well-being, livelihoods and resilience. The event is convening during Climate Week NYC, which is taking place from 19-25 September 2016. Climate Analytics, which was founded in 2008, brings together interdisciplinary expertise in the scientific and policy aspects of climate change to synthesize and advance scientific knowledge on climate change in order to provide support and capacity building to stakeholders.
