#Science-Based Targets

A science-based target is a social ritual that confines the threat of global warming within the numerical fetters of percentages. It serves as an excuse for companies and governments eager to display environmental conscience to gather around expert calculations and share the reassuring glow of a '3 percent' promise. The quantified hope for a sustainable future often deflates like a balloon when faced with the reality of implementation. What remains is a tableau of unmet expectations and transparent responsibility-shifting.
