Comment on ‘From the Paris Agreement to corporate climate commitments: evaluation of seven methods for setting “science-based” emission targets’

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
A study from Bjørn et al (2021) suggests that methods to allocate emissions to companies proportionally to their economic growth are consistent with equity-related principles and are effective at conserving a global emissions budget while the science ...

Differentiation of greenhouse gases in corporate science-based targets improves alignment with Paris temperature goal

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Companies are increasingly setting greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets to align with the 1.5 °C goal of the Paris Agreement. Currently, companies set these science-based targets (SBTs) for aggregate GHGs expressed in CO _2 -equivalent ...

From the Paris Agreement to corporate climate commitments: evaluation of seven methods for setting ‘science-based’ emission targets

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
While large companies routinely announce greenhouse gas emissions targets, few have derived targets based on global climate goals. This changed in 2015 with the creation of the science based targets (SBTs) initiative, which provides guidelines for ...
