Following an inclusive, iterative process led by a consultant who engages the entire staff, the executive director will ignore everything and write the entire strategic plan over a weekend.
Paper on Scope 3 requirements from @sciencetargets. “@WWF does not support the use of offsets - carbon credits from outside company value chains used to counterbalance value chain emissions - to meet company climate targets (except for residual emissions)” https://t.co/778aIat3CV
The SBTi Board’s statement looks like an illegitimate takeover. We understanding that the SBTi Board of Trustees have taken a unilateral decision with no scientific basis, and no backing from SBTi's own technical council and standards development team.
Guidance to support market transformation and limit global warming to 1.5C must be grounded in science and good governance, says @WWF in its response to SBTI’s recent statement on Scope 3 emissions

2/ We applaud the brave reaction from the staff of the SBTi, who issued a strong statement today rejecting the Board's unilateral statement on the use of carbon credits.
We condemn the SBTi Board of Trustees' statement from 9 April 2024, suggesting that SBTi has decided to allow the use of carbon credits towards companies' scope 3 reduction targets. The SBTi Board's statement is not grounded in science or due process.

Carbon Market Watch strongly condemns the decision of the Science Based Targets initiative's Board of Trustees that SBTi would recognise carbon credits as a way to “abate” scope 3 emissions.
This unscientific decision must be reversed.

For Americans to understand what happened tonight in Mexico ...
Through most of the 20th century, Mexican elections were run by officials answerable to the Mexican president. The president told the officials the result he wanted. They delivered it. 1/x
Even as Mexico's president subverts Mexico's democracy and law - the Mexican state remains too weak. It cannot provide physical or social security to its people, in great part because it fails to tax enough. Mexico's tax take is half the OECD average. https://t.co/ZAnnAwfHdt

However, it is often impossible to know how much💸will benefit the climate or profit intermediaries.
