On October 28th, the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is launching the first science-based framework for companies to set net-zero targets – the Net-Zero Standard. The Standard will clarify the key role of decarbonization in corporate net-zero strategies. The SBTi\u2019s new Net-Zero Standard is the world\u2019s first framework for corporate net-zero target setting in line with climate science. It provides the guidance and tools companies need to set science-based net-zero targets. Through the SBTi, companies will be able to set verified net-zero targets consistent with limiting temperature rise to 1.5\u00b0C. The Net-Zero Standard provides a common, robust, science-based understanding of net-zero that will provide clarity of and confidence in near- and long-term decarbonization plans that are aligned with climate science and will help to ensure a habitable planet for us all. Featuring conversation on net-zero with business, science, and civil society perspectives, this exciting virtual event will introduce the Standard and discuss how companies can set robust net-zero targets in line with climate-science. The Net-Zero Standard Launch event will showcase the SBTi Net-Zero Standard, highlight partners and who is leading the way, and define how companies can get net-zero right.<\/p>\n
