This paper examines the effectiveness and challenges of science-based targets (SBTs). It discusses the critical role SBTs play in corporate emission reduction target setting, while highlighting issues of effectiveness and monitoring.

Quahe S.

This paper analyzes discourses surrounding science-based targets (SBTs), revealing tensions between reformist and radical approaches. It explores the political and normative implications for SBT governance, highlighting the limitations and …

Chang A.

This comment critically examines the evaluation of seven methods for setting science-based emission targets as presented in the original paper. It highlights strengths and weaknesses, and may propose improvements.

Teske S.

This study presents sector-specific pathways for EU-27 countries to achieve net-zero and 1.5°C targets. Using energy and emissions data, it supports the setting of science-based decarbonization targets (SBTs), informing policy and corporate…
