science-based target setting

Science-based target setting involves establishing environmental goals—such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions—that are grounded in the latest climate science. Companies or organizations analyze how much they can cut emissions while contributing to global efforts to limit temperature rise, typically aiming to stay below 1.5°C or 2°C of warming. These targets are aligned with scientific recommendations and data, ensuring that efforts are effective and credible. Essentially, it’s about setting ambitious, measurable goals based on scientific evidence to help prevent dangerous climate change while ensuring organizational progress.
