SDG 13 still faces several threats to its progress. The GHG emissions saw a decline from 36.7 billion metric tons to 34.81 billion metric tons emitted from 2019 to 2020, however these emissions have already seen a sharp increase back to 36.4 billion metric tons emitted in 2021. Also, energy-related CO2 emissions for 2021 increased by 6%, hitting their highest level ever and erasing the pandemic-related decrease witnessed in 2020. This is due to the rush for governments globally to stimulate local economies by putting money towards fossil fuel production and in turn economic stimulation. Funding for economic policies will likely divert the emergency funds usually afforded to climate funding like The Green Climate Fund and other sustainable policies, unless an emphasis is put on green deals in the redirection of monetary funds. A rebound in transport pollution has occurred since restrictions of government lockdown policies have been lifted. Transport pollution accounts for roughly 21% of global carbon emissions due to it being still 95% dependent on oil. This is because countries like the United States are reducing efficiency standards and restricting environmental standard enforcement. The outcome of the UN Climate Change Conference UK '20, or, COP26, was postponed to October 31, 2021, where action was agreed upon to accelerate the rate in which GHG emissions are limited. This included strictly steering away from coal usage and oil, along with attempting to reach zero emissions from transport by 2040, among many other items of action discussed in COP26. In order to slow the rate of climate change and to shift to a more sustainable economy, the UN Secretary General has proposed six climate-positive actions for governments to take as they go about rebuilding their economies and societies post pandemic. Green transition: Investments must accelerate the decarbonization of all aspects of our economy. Green jobs and sustainable and inclusive growth Green economy: making societies and people more resilient through a transition that is fair to all and leaves no one behind. Invest in sustainable solutions: fossil fuel subsidies must end and polluters must pay for their pollution. Confront all climate risks Cooperation – no country can succeed alone. The most effective way to address this climate crisis is that long-term systematic shifts must be made in order to produce a more climate-conscious, sustainable society. Links with other SDGs The Sustainable Development Goal 13 is related tightly with the other SDGs. For
