The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) enables organizations to set decarbonization targets in line with the latest climate science. SBTi recently released their Buildings Criteria, with new requirements for validated decarbonization targets and other recommended best practices. The Criteria will apply to nearly all new (or renewed) building sector SBTi commitments as of March 2025.
In this webinar, SBTi will present the biggest changes introduced by the Buildings Criteria. Including:
• Decarbonization trajectories for operational and embodied carbon; and

• GHG accounting requirements associated with tenant emissions, fugitive emissions, and the sale or purchase of new buildings.

Purpose Building will then discuss what the Criteria means to you, including the biggest challenges, tactical actions you can implement today, and the long-term strategies and solutions to achieving net zero.
