Goal 13 is to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
The climate goal promotes poverty reduction and sustainable development, and can provide positive synergies and conditions with which to meet several of the challenges currently facing the world, such as food security, clean water, sustainable use of natural resources and ecosystems, human safety, gender-equality, health and economic growth.

Climate Framework for Swedish higher education institutions
The climate framework initiated by Chalmers and KTH Royal Institute of Technology during 2019, consists of a short document connected to a longer set of guidelines, which describe a number of key areas for climate work for the higher education sector. With the help of this guidance document, each university will identify the areas where they can set goals and implement measures based on their own set of conditions. For Chalmers, this will result in a climate strategy that will be unveiled during 2019.
