Would this include #Scope3Emissions (esp 'use of sold products')? #ScienceBasedTargets
"In 2019-20 Australia exported 390 Mt of coal (177 Mt metallurgical coal and 213 Mt thermal coal) and was the world's largest exporter of metallurgical coal and second largest exporter of thermal coal.[3] Despite only employing 50,000 mining jobs nationally, coal provides a rich revenue stream for governments.[4]"

2/3 Upstream, the #climate and #biodiversity impact from our suppliers. With close collaboration we team up to make steps, not only for the bit they supply to us, but become sustainable across the board. All with #SBT #ScienceBasedTargets. No vague promises, but hard action. Some suppliers are leaders, some are learners and some still have to start. And part of our job is to help them with that. Sharing knowledge and also financial aid. And sometimes replace ingredients with better alternatives

The Science Based Targets initiative released its annual monitoring report last week, with stats on how many companies have committed to science-based targets, and how many have submitted plans to actually achieve those targets – and have been 'approved' by the org.

This is pretty huge growth, and quite encouraging. Corporate #sustainability and #netzero efforts have a loooong way to go, but target setting helps see which way things are headed.

Their summary of the SBTi report's highlights:
• 2,079 companies and financial institutions had set science-based targets
• More than one third of the global economy (34%) by market capitalization had set or committed to set science-based targets
• We observed a growth on every continent for the first time
• Companies with science-based targets had committed to a total reduction of 76 millions tonnes of CO2e, equal to eliminating Switzerland’s annual emissions twice over

Pretty impressive momentum.

Inside the little-known group setting the corporate climate agenda. The #ScienceBasedTargets #initiative has earned praise for pushing companies to take #climateaction, but can voluntary #emissions targets really get the world where it needs to be? https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/05/16/1073064/inside-the-little-known-group-setting-the-corporate-climate-agenda #EnvironmentalLaw #ClimateCrisis #CarbonEmissions

Setting long-term net-zero emissions targets is good.

But long-term targets need to be accompanied by aggressive 5-10 year emissions reduction targets - otherwise they can be meaningless.

As the #ScienceBasedTargets initiative says: “less net, more zero.” https://sciencebasedtargets.org/blog/science-based-net-zero-targets-less-net-more-zero
