SBTi trajectories

Here’s a clear breakdown of SBTi trajectories — the science-based decarbonization pathways companies must follow to align with global climate goals:

📉 SBTi Reduction Trajectories by Temperature Scenario

According to OpenClimat’s methodology and the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard, companies must reduce emissions at the following rates:

📌 Note: These rates apply to Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, and increasingly to Scope 3 under near-term and long-term targets.

🧭 Base Year Adjustments

If your base year is after 2020, the total reduction ambition remains the same, but the annual reduction rate must be higher to meet the same 2030 target.
Example: A company with a 2022 base year must still reduce emissions by 25% by 2030 — requiring a steeper annual decline than one starting in 2020.

🛠️ Sector-Specific Trajectories

SBTi provides tailored pathways for high-emitting sectors:

Cement
Steel
Power generation
Maritime
Forest, Land, and Agriculture (FLAG)
