Many cooperative climate initiatives address some or more of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The CoAct Database maps these linkages to gain insights into which SDGs are addressed most often. Besides Climate Action (SDG 13), cooperative climate initiatives most frequently address Partnership for the Goals (SDG 17), Sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11), and Life on land (SDG 15). Social SDGs, including Quality education (SDG 4), Peace, justice and strong institutions (SDG 16), Gender equality (SDG 6), and Reduced inequalities (SDG 10), are addressed the least often.

Global Stocktake linkages
Key priorities for global climate action are identified in the six thematic axes of the Global Stocktake (GST), which are divided into 30 key objectives. The sixth axis is cross-cutting and focuses on enablers and accelerators for the goals under the first five axes, including financing, technology and capacity building. The CoAct Database links initiatives with the axes and key objectives of the Global Stocktake by applying automated text analyses, using keyword logics.
The data shows that particularly the cross-cutting sixth axis (Unleashing Enablers and Accelerators) is often addressed by initiatives, but also axis 2 (Stewarding Forests, Oceans, and Biodiversity) and axis 5 (Fostering Human and Social Development) are often included in the work of initiatives.

Global Biodiversity Framework linkages
The Global Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework (GBF) set 23 targets that require urgent action until 2030. The CoAct Database tracks the linkages between initiatives and GBF targets for all Integrated Nature Climate Action (INCA) initiatives. Our data shows that many initiatives work on minimising the impacts of climate change on biodiversity loss, planning and managing areas to reduce biodiversity loss and restore, maintain and enhance nature’s contributions to people. In contrast, targets about harvesting and trading wild species, invasive species, benefit sharing receives, and biosafety and biotechnology very little attention.
