Adaptation to climate risks and global mitigation of greenhouse emissions determine whether development pathways are climate- resilient . In the near term, progress towards climate resilient development can be monitored by progress on the SDGs. According to government reports  , current and projected trajectories fall short of meeting all targets . Key climate risks for the region  affect all of the SDGs, and pre-existing societal inequalities exacerbate climate risks . Projected climate risks combined with underlying SDG indicators will increasingly impede the region's capacity to achieve and maintain a number of SDGs, including sustainable agriculture, affordable and clean energy, sustainable cities and communities, life below water and life on land . Reducing these risks would require significant and rapid emission reductions to keep global warming to 1.5°C-2.0℃ and robust and timely adaptation .
