G20 companies neglecting science when setting climate targets
Growing numbers of companies in the G20 are setting climate targets but most fail to align with climate science, according to new research by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). It found:
Only 20% of G20 companies’ climate targets are science-based
Only 6% of “G13” (non-G7 members of the G20) companies’ climate targets are science-based, compared to 25% in the G7
10% of companies are responsible for 48% of total index emissions in all G7 indexes
Across the G20, 4215 companies have disclosed climate targets to CDP but just 20% of these are science-based targets in line with Paris Agreement goals. This is made up of 2999 companies in the G7 and 1216 companies in the G13. In the G7, 25% of targets are science-based, compared to just 6% in the G13.
G7 countries are led by the UK and France, with 41% and 33% of disclosed climate targets being science-based. Meanwhile some of the world’s heaviest emitters which are found in the “G13” group of countries - such as Indonesia, Russia and Saudi Arabia - do not contain a single company to have submitted an approved science-based target.
20国集团在制定气候目标时忽视了科学
根据科学目标倡议组织(SBTi)的一项新研究,20国集团中越来越多的公司正在制定气候目标,但大多数公司都未能与气候科学保持一致。研究发现:
G20企业的气候目标中只有20%是基于科学的
只有6%的“G13”(G20的非G7成员国)公司的气候目标是基于科学的,而七国集团的这一比例为25%
在G7的所有指数中,10%的公司的排放量占总指数排放量的48%
在整个20国集团中,有4215家公司向CDP披露了气候目标,但其中只有20%是符合《巴黎协定》目标的科学目标。这是由2999家G7公司和1216家G13公司组成的。在七国集团中,25%的目标是基于科学的,而13国集团中只有6%。
七国集团国家以英国和法国为首,41%和33%的公开气候目标是基于科学的。与此同时,在“G13”国家中发现的一些世界上最大的排放国,如印度尼西亚、俄罗斯和沙特阿拉伯,没有一家公司提交了经批准的基于科学的目标。
