Climate change and sustainable development represent two of the most pressing and interlinked global challenges of the 21st century. Climate change exacerbates environmental degradation, disrupts economic stability, and threatens human health, while sustainable development offers pathways to mitigate these effects through equitable and eco-friendly growth. This article explores the intricate relationship between climate change and sustainable development, emphasizing the need for global cooperation. Key themes include the impacts of climate change on sustainable development goals (SDGs), strategies for integration, and the role of international agreements like the Paris Agreement. By examining case studies and proposed solutions, the article underscores the importance of collective action to create a sustainable and resilient future for all.
