How can Science-Based Targets help decarbonise your organisation?

But how can you know how much you need to cut those emissions? Science-Based Targets (SBTs) are already helping thousands of organisations in virtually all business sectors around the world to do exactly that.

What are Science-Based Targets?

The Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a global organisation which defines and promotes best practice in reducing emissions. It’s developed a series of SBTs for decarbonisation. They’re called ‘science based’ because they follow the same climate science as the 2015 Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to within 1.5° C above pre-industrial levels.

SBTs help you understand by how much and how rapidly you need to reduce your GHG emissions to avoid the worst effects of climate change. They give you a clear path to cut those emissions in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
