Science-based Targets for Faith: Technical Guidance Document

The Science-based Targets for Faith (SBTF) Technical Guidance Document provides a global standard for Faith-based Organizations (FBOs) to measure, manage, and report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to align with the Paris Climate Agreement and achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

• The SBTF guidance provides a step-by-step framework for Faith-based Organizations (FBOs) to identify physical assets such as vehicles and buildings, compile GHG inventories, set science-based targets, and track progress toward net zero emissions by 2050.
• Energy production and consumption are the primary drivers of climate change, contributing up to 60 percent of global GHG emissions, with buildings (17.5 percent) and transportation (16.0 percent) accounting for over half of that total.
• FBOs are positioned to contribute significantly to climate mitigation because they operate various physical assets globally, including schools, healthcare facilities, and places of worship.
