Climate action through sustainable development is the need of the hour because the climate crisis is on the verge of becoming unmanageable. The Paris Agreement's goal is to keep the global temperature rise below two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels while pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. In order to ensure that the global average temperature rise is between 2 degrees Celsius, the predicted 2030 emissions must decrease by 28 to 42 per cent. An integration of science and technology is the only way to ensure sustainable development
