Climate change imposes a long-term vision on the necessary transition to low carbon economies and resilient to climate change, during this century, in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication.

1. Shift towards models of sustainable cities with mobility systems, integrated waste management, and low-carbon footprint buildings.

2. Promote best practices in agriculture and forestry to increase and preserve natural carbon sinks.

3. Reduce emissions of Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs), and promote co-benefits in health and well-being.

It is necessary a qualitative global objective regarding adaptation to climate change, aimed at increasing adaptability and resilience and at reducing vulnerability to climate change; states should develop adaptation plans and communicate these plans and the implementation measures periodically.

In January, risk #7 described how climate change would put governments, investors, and society at large on a collision course with corporate decision-makers, who would have to choose between ambitious commitments to reduce their emissions and their bottom lines. Civil society would be unforgiving of investors and companies they believe are moving too slowly. Oil and gas firms, airlines, carmakers, and meat producers would feel the heat. Disruption to supply chains would be a meaningful risk. Investors would reduce exposures to carbon intensive industries, sending asset prices lower. All this as global warming would make natural disasters more likely, more frequent, and more severe.

Agriculture is where climate change, food security and poverty reduction intersect. For most of the one billion extremely poor and hungry people in developing countries, agriculture is the main income source.These people are already vulnerable, and climate change will in most cases increase this vulnerability. While trying to cope with the effects of a warmer climate, agriculture is simultaneously facing two other challenges: it must double food production in developing countries by 2050 to meet population increases and dietary changes,and must be central to efforts in greenhouse gas reduction.

Climate action demands cross-border collaboration.

Cooperation among multi-cultural teams and collaboration on new solutions is essential in meeting climate objectives, as well as in creating new jobs and growth. Urban infrastructure, land use productivity and clean energy systems offer a potential to greater efficiency, structural transformation and technological change towards climate-friendly, sustainable development.Transformation requires bringing new partners together and managing the uncertainty that comes with innovation. Pivotal to moving from pilot projects towards mainstream collaboration is to build trust among the shareholders and stakeholders of a project.

1.Reduce the vulnerability and increase the resilience of the social sector to the effects of climate change.

2. Reduce the vulnerability and increase the resilience of strategic infrastructure and production systems to the effects of climate change .

3. Conserve and use ecosystems sustainably and maintain the ecosystem services they provide.

4. Accelerate the energy transition towards clean energy sources.

5. Reduce energy intensity through efficiency and responsible consumption schemes.
