Raising Business Ambition for 1.5°C: Setting a Science-Based Target

The UN Global Compact Network UK is delighted to invite you to "Raising Business Ambition for 1.5°C: Setting a Science-Based Target" webinar series, starting on 29th of April.

Over the past several years, science-based target-setting has rapidly become the most effective way for companies to align their corporate goals with the Paris Agreement. As many as 800 companies have already committed to set a science-based target. As stated in the 2018 IPCC Special Report on Global Warming, the transition to a low-carbon economy must be accelerated globally in order to hold warming to 1.5°. We are calling on all companies — across sectors — to set their science-based target with a new level of ambition — one that aligns with the 1.5° target.

This webinar series is held in partnership with the Carbon Trust, a mission-led global organisation who have supported numerous businesses worldwide in setting their science-based targets. We will explore the business benefits of setting a science-based target in line with 1.5°, specifically looking at the opportunities and challenges of implementing a science-based target by sector. The webinar will feature guidance from experts at the Carbon Trust and best practice examples from sector case studies.
