摘要

Climate change is considered an influential threat in this century of urbanization to the world’s population in every society, potentially affecting every individual in diverse groups of urban inhabitants in the coming decades. Through this study, we raise a question to access how climate change amplifies urban inequities in the context of sustainable development goals, which brings the question of urban equities to the forefront. The study finds the rate of population change, growth rate, urban migration, landscape modification, urban infrastructure, even adaptation, and mitigation affect a more specific group of people rather than others. Considering the sensitivity issue, this review case study only considers gender and socio-economic status and their association with related UN goals. The study finds and provides the results concerning process-oriented, social investigation, and current literature on the given topic. Finally, to avoid equity and justice concerns in reaction to the impacts of climate change and SDGs, it is considered a social concern concerning adaptation and mitigations.
