📢 Introducing the new Buildings Sector Science-Based Target-Setting Criteria! The buildings sector is a major contributor of emissions worldwide, accounting for over a quarter of energy-related emissions. It is also deeply impacted by the climate crisis: construction delays due to adverse weather are already costing billions of dollars globally. Today the SBTi launches our sector-specific science-based decarbonization framework for companies and financial institutions (FIs) in the buildings value chain. By enabling these businesses to set 1.5°C-aligned emissions reduction targets for the first time and placing them on a path to net-zero, the SBTi Buildings Criteria is a game-changer for the industry. Highlights of the new criteria include: 🔸 Companies using the criteria must commit to no new fossil fuel installations and halve emissions by 2030 at the latest. 🔸 The framework now covers global 1.5°C pathways for upfront embodied emissions, including materials production and construction of new buildings. 🔸 A ‘whole building approach’ covering all energy consumption and fugitive emissions (e.g. leakage) from buildings’ operations. 🔸 Regional pathways for in-use emissions (those associated with buildings’ energy use) so that targets reflect variations in local power grids and how buildings are used. To introduce the criteria, join us for two global webinars on October 17 where SBTi experts will deep dive into the criteria and answer questions from stakeholders. 👉 Register for the webinar here: https://lnkd.in/gRFTUA37 👉 Explore the full criteria here: https://lnkd.in/g7J9XKAT #SBTiBuildings #sciencebasedtargets #netzero

About us
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a corporate climate action organization that enables companies and financial institutions worldwide to play their part in combating the climate crisis. We develop standards, tools and guidance which allow companies to set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions targets in line with what is needed to keep global heating below catastrophic levels and reach net-zero by 2050 at latest. The SBTi is incorporated as a charity, with a subsidiary which will host our target validation services. Our partners are CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, the We Mean Business Coalition, the World Resources Institute (WRI), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

📝 A recent report from our partner CDP, in collaboration with HSBC, finds a strong business case for companies to address climate risks in their supply chains. Here are some key takeaways: ▶ Companies actively managing their scope 3 emissions have already saved $13.6 billion. ▶ Corporate engagement with suppliers led to 43 million tonnes of GHG emissions saved—equivalent to Sweden’s annual emissions! ▶ Despite these benefits, only 15% of companies are actively targeting their supply chains for emissions reduction. This presents a vast opportunity for those willing to act. The report finds that “companies embracing transparency and addressing supply chain emissions are not only reducing climate risks but realizing financial gains.” As part of the revision of our Corporate Net-Zero Standard, we’re working to address challenges related to scope 3 target setting and implementation, aiming to make reducing scope 3 emissions easier for all companies. 👉 Learn more about the revision of our Corporate Net-Zero Standard here: https://lnkd.in/g3rzDzD3 👉 Read CDP’s full report here: https://lnkd.in/gK-ZArU9 #scope3 #netzero #sciencebasedtargets
