Targets and Reporting:

FLAG Science-based targets

As the need for climate action becomes increasingly urgent, it is critical that emissions from the land sector be addressed.

The land sector is the largest emitting sector after energy, accounting for 22% of greenhouse gas emissions globally. It is also one of the industries most at risk from the impacts of climate change.

The SBTi recently released its Forest Land and Agriculture (FLAG) Guidance, the world’s first standard method for companies in land-intensive sectors to set SBTs. Alongside the FLAG Guidance, The GHG Protocol Land Sector and Removals Guidance explains how companies should account for and report land-based GHG emissions and removals.

These guidance documents provide a robust, science-based framework for companies to calculate their land-based emissions and provide guidelines on the emissions reduction and timelines required to cut land-related emissions in line with the Paris Agreement’s goal of 1.5°C.

FLAG SBTs are a significant step for corporate climate action but they are not just relevant for land-intensive companies. Any company that has FLAG emissions representing more than 20% of its total Scope 1+2+3 emissions, will also be required to set one.
