Let's get to know each other

You might have a few questions at this point. That is why, prior to signing the BACA pledge, we encourage to read through our introduction presentation and our Frequently Asked Questions.

If you don’t find the answer you are looking for, or if you just want to get at it and become a member, don’t hesitate to schedule a 1-on-1 with the BACA secretariat. This will allow you to take a first peak at what the Alliance can mean for your organisation.

Sign pledge

Set science-based emission reduction targets

By signing the Alliance’s pledge, you agree to explore the science-based targets methodology as a way to determine how much and how fast your organisation needs to decarbonise for it to help prevent the worst impacts of climate change.

From here on, you have up to 12 months to get acquainted with the science-based targets methodology and to officially commit to setting your own targets.

Depending on whether you are a large company, an SME, NGO or academic institution, the target definition and validation stage will range between 1 to 3 years.

For more info, have a look at the BACA Membership Protocol.

Through exchange of information and experiences as a community, you'll develop a business case for science-based targets as well as a strategy towards reaching your own targets.

All the while, we'll help make sure the world is aware of your commitment.
