Scope 1 and 2 Workshop Planning Support

Deadline: August 23 2024

In accordance with the requirements of the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Development of SBTi Standards, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is reviewing the metrics and target setting methods used for addressing scope 1 and 2 emission sources. This work will help inform the development of SBTi standards, including but not limited to the revision of the SBTi Corporate Net Zero Standard.

As part of this process, the SBTi will produce a synthesis report on the proposed metrics and target setting methods for inclusion into the Corporate Net Zero Standard v2. The project aims to provide valuable insights into the selection, application, and evaluation of methods for setting science-based targets, thereby supporting the mission of the SBTi in driving ambitious corporate climate action.

SBTi invites tenders for the provision of services to convene a series of workshops featuring a group of independent experts to discuss and recommend a series of scope 1 and 2 metrics and target setting methods for inclusion in the forthcoming SBTi Corporate Net Zero Standard (V2). The outputs of the review may include recommendations of potential new metrics, changes to existing target-setting methods, and incorporation of new methods to enhance the robustness of SBTi standards.

The deadline for questions is August 10, 2024, and the deadline for proposals is August 23, 2024.

The SBTi is launching a review of the existing power sector guidance and target-setting tool and will develop and revise resources to reflect the most recent climate data, to implement the SBTi’s best practices for sector standards, and to improve the effectiveness in facilitating target-setting by the power sector.
