Working Paper
WORKING PAPER The Sustainable Development Goals: Will they deliver climate compatible development for vulnerable countries? By Helen Picot, with Nicholas Moss September 2014 About this Working Paper The Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) assists developing countries to design and deliver climate compatible development, and to amplify the voices of the poorest and most climate-vulnerable countries in the international climate negotiations. What is climate compatible development? Climate compatible development is defined as “a ‘development first’ approach that minimises the harm caused by climate impacts while maximising the many human development opportunities presented by a low-emissions, more resilient, future”.1 In other words, development, climate adaptation and climate mitigation should go hand-in-hand, and one should not undermine the others. About the authors Helen Picot is a CDKN Negotiations Support Project Manager, based in PwC’s Sustainability and Climate Change practice. Nicholas Moss manages CDKN activities related to the sustainable development goals, also at PwC. Thanks to Green Ink for copy editing and layout. Reviewers This paper would not have been possible without the valuable insights of CDKN colleagues working on climate compatible development and the sustainable development goals. Those who have strengthened this paper with their review comments include: Sam Bickersteth, Mairi Dupar, Ari Huhtala, Simon Maxwell, Andrew Scott, Kiran Sura and Christopher Webb.

Introducing the GREEN 9 group of environmental NGOs active at EU level Introducing the Green 9 group of ||environmental NGOs active at EU level 2 Introducing the Green 9 group of environmental NGOs active at EU level Foreword Public opinion polls consistently show that European citizens are deeply concerned about the environment. The environment is an area where EU decision-makers can take action to bridge the gap between European institutions and citizens, to change people’s lives for the better. River pollution, climate change and wildlife decline are environmental problems that do not respect national boundaries. It makes sense to tackle these issues with laws and regulations at EU level. Despite the progress made in EU environmental policy, much needs to be done dur- ing the term of the current European Parliament and European Commission to inte- grate the environment into all EU policies. This is vital to ensure that the principle of ‘sustainable development’ is effectively applied in practice. Widespread public concern over the state of the environment has led to a continuous growth in the membership of environmental non-governmental organisations in Europe in recent years. Membership of the nine leading environmental organisations active at EU level is now estimated to be over 20 million people. This booklet gives EU decision-makers a short overview of the activities of the nine leading environmental organisations active at EU level - ‘the Green 9’ - together with their contact details. We hope that you will contact us if you need further information on what we do. We look forward to working with you. -

CHAPTER IV Moving forward: youth taking action and making a difference The combined acumen and involvement of all individuals, from regular citizens to scientific experts, will be needed as the world moves forward in implementing climate change miti- gation and adaptation measures and promot- ing sustainable development. Young people must be prepared to play a key role within this context, as they are the ones who will live to R IV experience the long-term impact of today’s crucial decisions. TE The present chapter focuses on the partici- pation of young people in addressing climate change. It begins with a review of the various mechanisms for youth involvement in environ- HAP mental advocacy within the United Nations C system. A framework comprising progressive levels of participation is then presented, and concrete examples are provided of youth in- volvement in climate change efforts around the globe at each of these levels. The role of youth organizations and obstacles to partici- pation are also examined. PROMOTING YOUTH ture.
