Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)
The Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) is a global initiative that helps companies set greenhouse gas emission reduction targets aligned with climate science. Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. By using scientific research, the SBTi provides a framework for businesses to determine and commit to specific, measurable targets that contribute to climate action. This approach not only supports corporate sustainability efforts but also encourages accountability and transparency in addressing climate change.
