The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a global initiative aimed at helping enterprises set science-based carbon targets consistent with the Paris Agreement's goal of keeping global temperature rise this century well below 2°C, ensuring that the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is stabilized at a level that prevents dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. This course mainly introduces the theoretical basis for the emergence and development of science-based targets, the methodology for setting science-based targets, the validation criteria for science-based targets, and the application process and requirements for science-based targets.

• Systematically introduce the historical context of climate change and science-based targets
• Comprehensively interpret the criteria and recommendations for setting science-based targets
• Deeply explain the general requirements and industry-specific requirements for setting Scope 1/2/3 science-based targets
• Use rich pictures and video materials to show key content of the latest science-based target setting
• Use case analysis to help enterprises and the entire supply chain act as soon as possible
