The Science Based Targets initiative drives ambitious climate action in the private sector by enabling companies to set science-based emissions reduction targets. It defines and promotes best practices in emissions reductions and net-zero targets in line with climate science, and provides technical assistance and expert resources to companies who set science-based targets in line with the latest climate science. More than 1,500 businesses around the world are already working with SBTi.
