SDG #13 is to “Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts”
Within SDG #13 are 5 targets, of which we here focus on Target 13.1:
Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries
Target 13.1 has three indicators:
Indicator 13.1.1: Number of deaths, missing persons and directly affected persons attributed to disasters per 100,000 population
Indicator 13.1.2: Number of countries that adopt and implement national disaster risk reduction strategies in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030
Indicator 13.1.3: Proportion of local governments that adopt and implement local disaster risk reduction strategies in line with national disaster risk reduction strategies
With the mention of the Sendai Framework, we’re reminded of this target’s similarities with target’s 1.5 and 11.b.
Indicator 13.1.1 matches indicator 11.5.1 exact, so we can refer to the Target 11.5 instalment in this series for its progress. Indicator 13.1.2 again emulates exactly Indicator 1.5.3. Furthermore, indicator 13.1.3 is a duplicate of indicator 11.b.2, making all Target 13.1’s official indicators copies.
