The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) recently reported that 239 companies had their “commitment removed” on the SBTi dashboard SBTi uses to track corporate net-zero goals. As of this writing, there are 4,950 companies with approved targets in the SBTi database.   This large number of lost commitments comes from the SBTi policy announced last year that gave companies 24 months to submit science-based targets for validation once a "commitment" is made. The first wave of companies that had their status changed hit on January 31st. Expect more “commitment removed” messages from the SBTi in the near future.  #climatechange #SBTi

Yesterday, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) published four technical outputs as part of its process to revise the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard. We encourage all stakeholders - especially climate-leading companies with Scope 3 emissions reduction goals - to read SBTi’s materials and engage with them on a path toward updated Scope 3 guidance. Scroll below for some initial insights and quotes from ZEMBA President and CEO Ingrid Irigoyen and Center for Green Market Activation (GMA) CEO Kim Carnahan. #Scope3 #SBTi #CarbonAccounting

Mobilizing the private sector in effort to reach the Paris Agreement goals, SBTi defines and promotes best practices in setting science-based targets across sectors. In this clip, Erwin De Bock shares the different steps in the SBTi process and its added value. 💯 #RSMBelgium #Sustainability #SBTi

🌍 We endorse the new decision taken by Science Based Targets initiative! 🌎 #SBTi has decided to extend its scope of #marketbased decarbonization by allowing reporting companies to retire carbon credits. 🌎 This development is expected to further boost the hashtag #VCM whose growth previously projected to increase by 25 to 125 times as per different recognized authorities. You may reach out to us to get detailed info about the rule update!

Is this the final nail in the coffin that SBTi has become now? It will be a good case study for history (should there be a future left) of how ambitious and correct targets were reduced to impossible numbers and two sides so obstinate (and also kind of correct) that no one budged and now the people and planet will suffer as a consequence. What's the BATNA here? How is it better than what's happening? Where is the common ground? Obviously, VCMs have lost a lot of credibility because these very brands have abused it every chance they got, but then what's SBTi's solution for it? The numbers they have given are simply unachievable without a top-down left-right overhaul of how all of these organizations think- which has so many factors determining its play- some under the brand's control and some completely out of it. Just having SBTi without any of the other things has made the SCIENCE BASED TARGETS look like an achievable joke- which is just a lose lose for everybody.

Yesterday's UNRISD event on Sustainable Development Performance Indicators (SDPI) was nothing short of exceptional. The depth of insight and the calibre of discussions underscored the critical importance of measuring progress towards sustainable development goals. From start to finish, the presentations delivered were of the highest quality, providing invaluable perspectives on the intricacies of SDPI. The diverse array of speakers (Bill Baue; Katharina Herzog; Heike Grosch; Michael Peck) brought unique insights and experiences to the table, enriching the dialogue and fostering a truly enriching environment. What truly stood out was the level of engagement and interaction among participants. The discussions were not only enlightening but also actionable, offering practical strategies for effectively measuring and monitoring sustainable development performance. Events like these serve as a reminder of the power of collective action in driving positive change. It was inspiring to witness passionate individuals and organizations come together with a shared commitment to developing robust indicators for tracking progress towards sustainability. A heartfelt thank you to all the panelists and participants, and UNRISD staffs involved for organizing this thought-provoking and impactful event. Let's continue to harness this momentum and work towards developing and implementing SDPI that truly reflect our progress towards a more sustainable future.
