🍃 WBCSD welcomes the latest release from Science Based Targets Network target nature with updated technical guidance and resources for companies to set science-based targets for #nature. Science-based targets for nature are a critical aspect of the evolving corporate performance and accountability system for nature. 💪 With support from Quantis, WBCSD has been working with 12 leading member companies to pilot SBTN’s methods over the last year, complementing the official SBTN Initial target validation pilot which involved 8 WBCSD members and project members. These engagements have been valuable to all, elevating key considerations such as the importance of understanding local impacts and the need for traceability. Setting science-based nature targets requires an advanced level of nature action maturity. WBCSD is committed to working with SBTN and its partners to ensure that all companies, regardless of their maturity on nature, develop nature strategies that are aligned with material dependencies and impacts on nature and identify the most relevant priority actions to focus on. This alignment between material nature issues and linked actions serves as the foundation of any credible nature target. Ahead of #NYCW in September, WBCSD will share insights and opportunities revealed by its SBTN Preparer Group, focusing on accelerating and scaling corporate nature target setting. Watch this space. In the meantime, how about some summer reading? Our #Roadmaps to #NaturePositive provide comprehensive step-by-step “how to” guidance for taking credible, impactful action on nature: https://lnkd.in/eaPDePXQ Diane Holdorf, Julian Hill-Landolt, Angela Graham-Brown, Nadine McCormick, Maria Ana Campos, Marcial Vargas-Gonzalez, Erin Billman, Jessica McGlyn, Varsha Vijay, PhD, Oscar K.

🏗️We are thrilled to announce the launch of Minoro, a groundbreaking platform designed to accelerate the decarbonization of buildings. Minoro is not just a tool; it's a game-changer for businesses committed to reducing their carbon footprint. It offers vital insights into the what, when, and where of building development, empowering stakeholders to make informed decisions that lower whole-life carbon emissions. An international resource, and free to use, the platform has been developed by Grimshaw in collaboration with over 20 supporting organisations - including WBCSD, RIBA, Architecture 2030, World Green Building Council and several national Green Building Councils across the globe. “We know that buildings contribute almost 40% of the global energy related carbon emissions, but equally the route to decarbonising buildings is complex. The opportunity brought by Minoro is to help navigate this complexity and bring building owners and their project teams closer together in the setting of high ambitions and realising the incredible responsibility all stakeholders have to take effective action.” Roland Hunziker, Director, Built Environment, WBCSD We invite WBCSD members and the building sector community to engage with Minoro. Utilize it in your project developments, and join us in refining and expanding its reach across different geographies. Together, we can build a more sustainable future. 🌱 Check here: https://lnkd.in/e7zsTJ_u #Minoro #BuildingTheFuture #decarbonization #climateemergency #sustainablecities
