Science-based targets (nature)
Targets set by a business that aim to reduce negative impacts and enhance positive outcomes for nature and people across companies’ direct operations and supply chains. Companies can use the SBTN* guidance to assess and prioritise their environmental impacts on freshwater quality and quantity, alongside land targets for the protection and restoration of terrestrial ecosystems.
Comment: *These operate under a framework set by a network of 45+ organisations called the Science-based Targets Network (SBTN) - including some of the same organisations behind the SBTi - developing methods and resources for science-based targets (SBTs) for nature for companies, and science-based targets for both climate and nature for cities. Although the SBTi and SBTN are separate organisations, both advocate for corporate targets grounded in science.
