Abstract: 

Introduction. The relevance of this study is due to the growing influence of the global climate change consequences on the development of countries’ economies and the population’s life quality. Finding an effective response to the climate challenge requires determining the place of the problem of climate change and its consequences among other global challenges and clarifying the significance of climate change for the sustainable development of socio-economic systems. Methods. The study is based on a review of resolutions and reports from a series of United Nations global conferences from 1972 to 2022. To analyze the scientific works on the problem of global climate change, the author used a combination of bibliometric methods, visualization methods and content analysis. Theoretical analysis. A review of intergovernmental documents that reflected the global consensus on development and cooperation in the field of environmental conservation provided insight into the transformation of approaches to solving the problem of global climate change. The evolution of the climate agenda is traced in the context of the sustainable development strategy implementation. Policy priorities are identified for actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change. Еmpirical analysis. An analysis of the dependence of economic and social damage on the occurrence of natural disasters and weather risks was carried out. The results obtained are considered through the prism of trends characteristic of the time period under study. Conclusions. The relationship between climate, economy, ecology and society is revealed. Through the UN system of sustainable development goals, the place of global climate risks in the system of external challenges and threats to the sustainable development of socioeconomic systems is shown.
