External Advisory Bodies

In addition to the Technical Council members, the SBTi benefits from the input of other expert groups comprising individuals from outside the initiative.

Technical Advisory Group (TAG)

This is a group of volunteer expert advisors from business, academia, government, non-profit and multilateral organizations. They provide expert advice from a practitioner's perspective throughout the development and/or revision of SBTi technical outputs (e.g. standards, guidance documents, etc.) for which a project-specific Expert Advisory Group has not been created. The group serves in an advisory capacity and is not a decision-making body. Meet the Technical Advisory Group and view the Terms of Reference here.

Scientific Advisory Group (SAG)

This is an advisory body comprised of experts from the scientific community with specialized expertise in climate science and climate change mitigation. They provide advice to ensure the robustness of the pathways and methods that underpin science-based target-setting. The group serves in an advisory capacity and is not a decision-making body.

The SBTi accepts applications for the Scientific Advisory Group on a rolling basis, find out more information on our SBTi's Technical Governance webpage.
