The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a framework for companies to set science-based climate targets in line with what is required for us to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. This course gives you both knowledge of the theoretical background to science-based climate targets and how to go about setting targets for your company, step by step. Among other things we go through which criteria must be met and how to apply to have them approved by SBTi. During the course we go through what applies both to the existing criteria (Net-zero standard v1) and to the upcoming ones (Net-zero standard v2.0).

The Science Based Targets initiative is a collaboration between UN Global Compact, World Resource Institute (WRI), WWF and Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) that aims to give companies guidance in setting climate targets in line with what science considers necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Companies that set a target can submit it to SBTi for approval and then have it published and use the target in their communication.

Target audience
Who is this for?
You who are responsible for or work with sustainability issues or long-term business and organisational development, for example:
Environmental or sustainability manager
Sustainability and environmental coordinator
Business and organisational developer
The Science Based Targets initiative is aimed at companies, and only companies can have their climate targets approved by the organisation. However, the methodology can also be used by the public sector and other organisations.
To get the most out of the course, it is advisable to have basic knowledge of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, for example by having taken our course "Climate calculations according to the GHG Protocol".
