The SHAPE project investigated interactions between options to mitigate climate change and the broader agenda of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It modelled and analysed Sustainable Development Pathways that make as much progress towards the SDGs as possible by 2030, and maintain sustainable development thereafter, while meeting the climate targets set out in the Paris agreement.
