摘要

Background

The current multi-crisis hinders progress toward the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 progress and we aim to identify gaps and opportunities in SDG 13 trends across geographic regions and income groups through a proposed holistic “circular climate action” (CCA) framework.

Methods

The literature search was conducted in December 2025 following PRISMA guidelines. Records published between 2010 and 2025 were identified through Scopus and Web of Science and supplemented by Google Scholar. Rigorous screening and exclusion criteria were applied to ensure methodological reliability.

Results

The review includes 52 studies and 1 report. We define CCA, and the findings reveal a paradox: many low-income countries appear closer to SDG 13, while high-income countries lag due to high material and ecological footprints and limited circularity. Regionally, Asia bears the highest mortality burden, Africa faces major biological and hydrological hazards, Europe is vulnerable to heatwave mortality, the Americas suffer major economic losses from wildfires and storms, and finally, small-island developing states (SIDS) remain highly exposed to extreme climatic phenomena.

Discussion

Policymakers should prioritize prevention and preparedness through build-back-better (BBB) strategies, Ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR), and the inclusion of local and Indigenous knowledge. The review is limited by its non-meta-analytic design, which relies on qualitative synthesis; therefore, a formal risk-of-bias assessment was not conducted. The review protocol was registered on OSF (registration ID T7QFG).
