The IPCC periodically releases comprehensive assessment reports, typically every five to seven years, which assess the latest scientific evidence related to climate change and make it accessible to the public.39 However, given the urgency of the issue, it is vital to stay up-to-date with the latest research in the field even between these cycles. This is especially important considering the growing body of evidence supporting the need for ambitious climate change targets. To achieve these targets, it is essential to continue advancing research in the field and effectively communicate its findings.
To facilitate this effort, it is important to efficiently sift through the ever-growing volume of research articles and data to identify the most relevant and actionable information. Digital Sciences’ AI-powered database, Dimensions, offers a dedicated SDG filter to support this crucial endeavour. The achievement of the SDGs has the potential to not only improve the current generation's quality of life but also ensure a better future for generations to come.
Reviewing research through the SDG lens can be highly beneficial for individuals, governments and organizations working to make progress in efforts to address climate change. Furthermore, Altmetric provides valuable insights into the level of public interest and awareness surrounding climate change research. This can shed light on the issues that need more attention to support greater action in the future. By taking advantage of such resources, we can better equip ourselves to combat climate change and protect our planet.
