Science Based Targets Network

The Science Based Targets Network is a civil-society and science-led initiative founded in 2019 by a group of global NGOs who have come together to help collectively define what is necessary for companies and cities to do “enough” to stay within Earth’s limits and meet society’s needs.

Our founding partners are CDP, World Resources Institute, WWF, United Nations Global Compact (also the founding partners of the Science Based Targets initiative) as well as Conservation International, UNEP-WCMC, and World Economic Forum. 

SBTN is one of the five original members of the Global Commons Alliance (GCA), along with Earth Commission, Earth HQ, Systems Change Lab and Accountability Accelerator. The Global Commons Alliance is a network of organizations working towards a shared mission — to safeguard and restore Earth’s life-support systems, equitably, now.

The SBTN is a fiscally sponsored project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors; a nonprofit organization (501c3) that accelerates philanthropy in pursuit of a just world. Learn more about our funding here.
