Successfully implementing climate actions and managing trade- offs between mitigation, adaptation and sustainable development  has important time considerations that imply significant urgency, making substantive progress in system transitions critical for CRD. Both the SDGs and the Sendai Framework, for example, have target dates of 2030. Meanwhile, the Paris Agreement sets specific time horizons for NDCs and the SR1.5 indicated that limiting warming to 1.5℃ would similarly require substantial climate action by 2030 . While the literature is unambiguous regarding the need for significant system transitions to achieve CRD , the current pace of global emissions reductions, poverty alleviation and development of equitable systems of governance is incommensurate with these policy time tables . As noted previously in the AR5, 'delaying action in the present may reduce options for climate-resilient pathways in the future' . Accordingly, significant acceleration in the pace of system transitions is necessary to enable the implementation of mitigation, adaptation and sustainable development initiatives consistent with CRD .
