net-zero emissions by no later than 2050, we must halve global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030. Achieving these targets will be imperative for remaining within the 1.5\u00b0C pathway, as set out in the Paris Agreement.<\/p><p>Surpassing the 1.5\u00b0C limit could result in climate catastrophe, making the weather events that are wreaking havoc around the world more frequent and extreme. Now more than ever, it is vital for companies to become familiar with science-based targets.<\/p><p>Science-based targets provide a clear and comprehensive pathway for companies to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This is crucial in preventing the worst impacts of climate change, offering businesses a clear advantage in a carbon-conscious future.<\/p><p>Understanding the ins and outs of science-based targets could bring significant benefits for businesses.

In this legally binding treaty, 195 parties committed to limiting global warming to below 2\u00b0C compared to pre-industrial levels. Then in 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said that global warming should not exceed 1.5\u00b0C.<\/p><p>To achieve this, GHG emissions must halve by 2030, and drop to net zero by 2050. A \u2018science-based\u2019 emissions target stays in line with the scale of reductions required to meet these objectives. These goalposts track progress, providing the private sector with a clear idea of how quickly they need to reduce their GHG emissions, to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.<\/p><p>In the global race towards net zero, science-based targets will become crucial for business growth across all sectors.
