The achievement of the 2030 Agenda will require policy interventions that maximize the synergies available across the many goals and targets while limiting the inevitable trade-offs. Climate change will have consequences for each goal and sub-goal in the 2030 Agenda. Effective policy-making will consider climate adaptation interventions that, if successful, will strengthen the likelihood of achieving the 2030 Agenda more broadly. Box 1 shows the three targets of the Ceres2030 project (all from SDG 2) and describes interventions that will contribute to both the target and to climate adaptation. Of course, climate change will impose costs on achieving the SDG targets, due to the damage it is doing (a cost of not acting to mitigate climate change sooner), and to the necessity of introducing additional investments in targeted adaptation initiatives designed to prevent climate change effects from worsening (the cost of adaptation). The cost of climate adaptation has implications for the overall cost of meeting the SDG 2 targets and is therefore a cost of interest to Ceres2030.
