Many of the observed outcomes of climate change, for example, migration, are also outcomes of multidimensional poverty in low- income countries . Future impacts may be better understood if the vulnerability and the capacity for adaptation is understood to be rooted in a sustainable development context . The UN Sustainable Development Goals , which aim to reduce poverty and inequality, and identify options for achieving development progress, also provide insight on reducing climate vulnerability . First, climate change impacts may undermine progress toward various SDGs , primarily poverty reduction , zero hunger , gender equality  and reducing inequality , among others . In both developing and high-income countries, climate change hazards in connection with other non-climatic drivers already accelerate trends of wealth inequality  . Climate impacts on SDGs illustrate the complex interrelations in development. For example, in regions encountering obstacles to SDGs, characterised by high levels of inequality and poverty, such as in Africa, Central Asia and Central America, climate change is exacerbating water insecurity , which may then also drive food insecurity , impacting the poor directly , or indirectly  . There is a pressing need to address poverty issues, since these may negatively influence the implementation of all SDGs .
