The Science Based Targets initiative SBTi is a corporate climate action organization that enables companies and financial institutions worldwide to play their part in combating the climate crisis.
We develop standards, tools and guidance which allow companies to set greenhouse gas GHG emissions reductions targets in line with what is needed to keep global heating below catastrophic levels and reach net-zero by at latest.
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. By the end of over 4, companies and financial institutions were leading the transition to a net-zero economy by setting emissions reduction targets and having them validated by the SBTi.
The race is on to limit global warming to 1. Business has a critical role to play in driving down greenhouse gas emissions and building the resilient, thriving zero-emissions economy we urgently need. This action must be grounded in science. We need a race to the top, led by pioneering companies. This will empower peers, suppliers and customers to follow suit and drive governments to take bolder action.
The SBTi mobilizes the private sector to take the lead on urgent climate action. The SBTi enables companies and financial institutions to understand how much, and how quickly, they must decarbonize to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.
