COP Presidency Year: What are the priorities?

In November 2021, the UK hosted the 26th COP Summit in Glasgow, together with partner Italy. 

The Glasgow Summit had four declared goals:

  • Mitigation to the effects of climate change as it is now

  • Adaptation to the effects of climate change as they are now

  • Finance to allow both mitigation and adaptation to the effects of climate change

  • Collaboration in global partnerships to adapt to and mitigate the effects of global climate change.

On Monday 24th January 2022 COP President Alok Sharma will outline the UK's Presidency priorities for this year. Given so many issues need addressing urgently, we wonder which of the Sustainable Development Goals will be identified as priorities.

For your convenience we have listed each of the UN’s individual Sustainable Development Goals, and the link for each one leads to an example of Drawnalism’s take on that goal.

  1. No poverty

  2. No hunger

  3. Healthy Lives and Well-being

  4. Quality Education and Lifelong Learning

  5. Gender Equality

  6. Water and Sanitation

  7. Affordable Energy

  8. Economic Growth

  10. Reduced Inequalities

  11. Sustainable Cities and Communities

  12. Responsible Consumption and Production

  14. Life Below Water

  15. Life On Land
