Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) drives ambitious climate action in the private sector by enabling organizations to set science-based emissions reduction targets. The latest climate science sends a clear warning that we must dramatically curb temperature rise to avoid the catastrophic impacts of climate change. Science-based targets show companies and financial institutions how much and how quickly they need to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to prevent the worst effects of climate change. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi): - Defines and promotes best practice in emissions reductions and net-zero targets in line with climate science. - Provides technical assistance and expert resources to companies who set science-based targets in line with the latest climate science. - Brings together a team of experts to provide companies with independent assessment and validation of targets. - The SBTi is the lead partner of the [Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign](https://sciencebasedtargets.org/business-ambition-for-1-5c/) - an urgent call to action from a [global coalition](https://www.unglobalcompact.org/take-action/events/climate-action-summit-2019/business-ambition) of UN agencies, business and industry leaders, mobilizing companies to set net-zero science-based targets in line with a 1.5°C future. The change has already begun and action is gaining pace. Over 2,000 organizations worldwide are leading the transition to a net-zero economy by setting emissions reduction targets grounded in climate science through the SBTi.
