Description

Purpose of project:
This project seeks to explore:
A. The extent of UK emissions currently covered by UK-based corporations with Science Based Targets (SBTs)
B. The potential for UK corporations’ emissions reductions through SBTs to contribute to overall UK decarbonisation efforts if more companies set such targets
These deliverables by a service provider will form the first two parts of a larger project that would also consider
C. The potential contribution of corporate investment in Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) to climate change in addition to 1.5°C emission reduction targets
D. The policy framework required to incentivise more companies to go above and beyond SBTs through investments in NBS
