Linkages between the 17 SDGs and the eight RKRs  are mapped to the regional SDG status  and related to the CIDs . Interconnections between CIDs and RKRs are complicated by the possibility of concurrent weather events, extremes and longer- term trends. Risks are compounded by existing vulnerabilities  and cascading consequences   as well as interactions. The level of challenges faced in attaining the SDGs is one metric for assessing vulnerability and lack of capacity to manage risks . Other metrics are also available . From Figure 16.12, aside from SDG13 , the strongest connections and risk challenges are with zero hunger , sustainable cities and communities , life below water , decent work and economic growth , no poverty , clean water and sanitation  and good health and well-being  . Other SDGs have strong linkages with specific RKRs, for example, terrestrial and marine ecosystems with life on land ; infrastructure  with industry, innovation and infrastructure  and affordable and clean energy ; living standards  with
