Setting Science-Based Targets for the ICT Sector: Challenges and Opportunities

The rapid growth of technology, particularly in areas like Artificial Intelligence (AI), is revolutionizing our world. While this progress offers tremendous potential, it also comes with a significant environmental cost. 

The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector faces a major responsibility in curbing its environmental impact while helping other sectors decarbonize. 

The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) offers a robust methodology for ICT companies to set ambitious emissions reduction targets aligned with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C goal. This webinar does a deep dive into the SBTi methodology for the ICT sector, with a particular focus on the unique challenges and opportunities faced by companies operating in emerging markets.
