Science-Based Targets: On Target? [PDF]

Sustainability, 2021
Companies are increasingly seeking to align their actions with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Over 1000 such companies have committed to the science-based targets initiative which seeks to align corporate carbon reduction targets with global decarbonisation trajectories. These ‘science-based targets’ are developed using a common set of resources and

Corporate Climate Futures in the Making: Why We Need Research on the Politics of Science-Based Targets

Energy Research and Social Science, 2023
In this Perspective article, we call for more scholarly attention to the politics of the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Specifically, we argue for a need to examine the emission pathways and decarbonised futures that are expressed and promoted ...

Science-Based Carbon Emissions Targets

2021
We examine the effect of voluntarily adopting a standard for setting science-based carbon emissions targets on target difficulty and investments to achieve those targets. We find that firms with a track record of setting and achieving ambitious carbon targets are more likely to set science-based targets.

Science Based Targets Without Science Based Disclosure? Towards a Complete Carbon Data Science

2016
More than 250 corporate have set themselves science based targets for their GHG emissions reduction and 44 of these have their targets already approved. However, what is the point of a science based reduction target when the GHG measurement most corporations disclose have been found to be (grossly) inaccurate? We explore this paradox through a critical

Science-based targets for higher education? Evaluating alignment between Ivy+ climate action plans and the Science-Based Targets initiative’s net-zero standards

International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the extent to which a sample of US-based higher education institution’s (HEI’s) climate targets and associated climate action planning efforts align with the definitions of and practices associated with science-based targets (SBTs) that are typically used to organize corporate climate efforts.
