Commit to net-zero targets.</strong> Join a community of changemakers by <a href="https://www.jotformz.com/targets/commitment-submission-application"><u>signing onto the targets outlined in the Science Based Targets initiative's (SBTi) Net-Zero Standard</u></a>. Committing to lowering emissions paves the way to achieving our goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 and sustaining sustainable, healthy wildlife worldwide.<br> </p><p><br> <strong>2. Familiarize yourself with industry-specific guidance.</strong> No matter what sector you operate in, take a minute to explore <a href="https://sciencebasedtargets.org/sectors"><u>SBTi's sector guidance</u></a> and learn how your industry can reduce emissions and set realistic targets for people and wildlife worldwide.<br><br> </p><p><strong>3. Set ambitious targets.</strong> An ambitious approach is vital to effectively addressing the current climate crisis. Commit to setting near- and long-term science-based targets to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.<br><br> </p><p><strong>4. Engage with your networks and supply chains.</strong> Climate action doesn't stop at your business. Extend your climate commitment beyond your organization by encouraging partners and suppliers to set net-zero targets. <a href="https://sciencebasedtargets.org/resources/files/Getting-Started-Guide.pdf"><u>SBTi provides a helpful guide on getting started</u></a>.<br><br> </p><p><strong>5. Take a UN Global Compact Academy course on advancing a just transition</strong>. A just transition means building the sustainable economies of the future while centering inclusivity and fairness. Business action on just transition begins with a foundation of respect for human and labor rights, supported by the <a href="https://unglobalcompact.org/what-is-gc/mission/principles"><u>Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact</u></a>. Learn more about <a href="https://unglobalcompact.org/take-action/think-labs/just-transition"><u>Accelerating action for a just transition</u></a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>A sustainable future can start with you.
