Climate change is a global issue with implications for Sustainable Development and affects diverse sectors such as nature, society and business. The most important factor that contributes to the worsening of the situation is man-made activity, which leads to an unprecedented increase in greenhouse emissions in the atmosphere. In order to address this critical issue, it is critical that Financial Institutions take action that can exert influence through engagement with the companies they work with, finance and invest in, thereby acting as catalysts for change across the spectrum of the real economy. Science-based targets (SBTs) are an important tool for companies to set targets based on the latest climate research, to take action and measure their progress in reducing emissions towards climate neutrality, with the aim of keeping global warming to 1.5°C by 2050. In order to achieve these, it is necessary to speed up efforts, giving basis to the cooperation between all stakeholders, but also to incentivize businesses in order to take effective measures.
