The details behind setting a Science Based Target

The Science-Based Target Initiative (SBTi) was set up in 2015 by WWF, CDP, UN Global Compact and WRI. It helps corporates set medium-term internal emission reduction targets in line with what science tells us need to happen in different industries. What does an SBT look like? Do corporate SBTs add up to a net zero economy? What happens to a company once the target is set? What’s the relationship between an SBT and other climate actions like 100% renewable energy and carbon neutrality? We took a run through these and other questions you had with Josh Whitney, Executive Director, Ventures at Anthesis, in conversation with Melissa Vernon, Director of Client Engagement at Natural Capital Partners.
