WWF is one of the partners in the Science Based Targets Initiative, which has recently released a new Net-Zero Standard, on top of its guidance on setting a science-based target. Yet the idea of offsetting remains controversial, and we still need to focus on critical, short-term emissions reduction goals.
Nonetheless, nature-based solutions offer a way to support mitigation, and help us adapt to climate change impacts. But they aren’t a substitute for emissions reductions. Marcene tells us why we need to change the conversation and our understanding of nature-based solutions, and what companies should do in the short term to reduce their emissions, including how to make the changes needed and report on their plans.
