Science Based Targets for Sustainability – where do we stand, where to go?

Science Based Targets (SBTs) provide orientation for businesses, cities and governments about a safe and just future of human development within Earth boundaries.
We will inform about ongoing activities, basic challenges and interim insights within the Global Commons Alliance, the Earth Commission and the Science Based Target Network.
