The SBTi at COP27
Discover the SBTi's plans for COP27 and get involved, whether you're on the ground or following from abroad.
As countries gather to take action towards achieving the world's collective climate goals, the window for action to keep global heating below catastrophic levels is closing fast. Every business must play its part in driving ambitious decarbonization.
Whether or not you're attending COP27, there are plenty of options for getting involved, from registering for our hybrid events or taking #COPClimateAction.
THE SBTi's FOCUS AT COP27
Since COP26, the number of companies setting science-based targets has doubled. Over 1,800 companies now have validated targets. Nearly 4,000 have committed to setting them. Despite this progress, hundreds of companies globally have yet to set targets and do their part in limiting global temperature increases.
To galvanize the uptake of science-based targets, the SBTi's COP27 program is underpinned by four key areas:
- Net-Zero: Enabling companies to set net-zero aligned science-based targets through our Net-Zero Standard.
- Scope 3: Helping to scale science-based decarbonization across the value chain.
- FLAG (Forest, Land and Agriculture): Unleashing the vast, untapped potential of FLAG companies through our new guidance and pathway for the sector.
- Global South: Demonstrating how science-based targets can help drive climate investment in the global south.

SBTi Events and Speaking Opportunities
- 16 November
- 9am - 10am
- Climate Education Hub
The transition towards a net-zero economy represents an opportunity to transform development paradigms and to build economies that are resilient to global trends and that enable economic actors to address the key social and environmental challenges of this century. This event will explore how science-based target setting can help companies build resilient business models and will identify and discuss barriers and opportunities to accelerate and mainstream climate alignment in the Global South.
- 17 November
- 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
- Sustainable Agriculture of the Americas Pavilion
Land-based emissions make up 22% of global greenhouse gases. To reach net-zero by 2050, we need every member of the private sector to play their part - and now, with the SBTi Forest, Land and Agriculture Guidance, FLAG companies have the resources they need to set science-based targets that include land-based emissions and removals for the first time.
- 17 November
- 5:30pm – 6:30pm
- Panda Pavilion
Businesses must ensure climate plans aren’t based on science-fiction. Climate ambitions and actions must be science-based. This means urgent and immediate action for implementation on the ground in line with halving emissions this decade and achieving net-zero before 2050.
GET INVOLVED
COP27 presents an important opportunity for SBTi companies and financial institutions to encourage their sector peers to follow their leadership by setting science-based targets.
Our #COPClimateAction campaign is calling on companies and financial institutions to promote their validated targets during COP27, and ask their peers to develop targets as soon as possible.
