Net-zero Science-based Target

Definition

A net-zero science-based target is a GHG mitigation target that implies:

● Reducing scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions to zero or a residual level consistent with reaching global net-zero emissions or at a sector level in eligible 1.5°C-aligned pathways; and

● Permanently neutralizing any residual emissions at the net-zero target year and any GHG emissions released into the atmosphere thereafter.
