Science-based targets for climate and nature

Science-based targets help companies set measurable goals for climate and nature based on the latest scientific knowledge. IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute supports companies throughout the process – from greenhouse gas accounting and nature impact assessments to target setting, implementation and follow-up.

An increasing number of companies face demands for credible, science-based targets from customers, investors and regulation. In the climate area, this means mapping greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain and having targets externally validated through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). For nature and biodiversity, it involves analysing a company’s impacts and dependencies using the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) framework.

IVL has extensive experience in greenhouse gas accounting and nature impact assessments and supports companies in developing, validating and implementing targets for both climate and nature.
