The ABC of Science Based Targets
What exactly are Science Based Targets or climate goals? How do they work, and most importantly of all, how do you implement them within your organisation?

At times when the impact of climate change has never manifested itself more evidently and devastatingly, effective implementation of emission reduction measures deserves to be at the centre stage of the event. That is why in this vlog series, our vlogger Jaffar will share with you a grasp of inspiring ‘implementation stories’ from different BACA members.

How now, brown cow?
Livestock accounts for about 15% of global anthropogenic emissions, good for half of total emissions from agriculture. This makes of the agricultural sector the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases; one in which cows occupy an important place. Time to do something about it, so they understood at Danone.

New climate change guidance for the agricultural, land use and forestry sector
Our food system accounts for more than a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. What we eat has a huge impact on our ecological footprint. This means that there are many climate gains to be made. How can we capitalize on these? And what role can companies inside and outside the sector play?

Businesses commit to a carbon neutral world, but a massive scale-up is necessary, says WWF
This week, the World Meteorological Organization warned that we risk already reaching the average global temperature of 1.5° Celsius by 2027, which science believes is a major turning point at which climate effects will become increasingly damaging. The business community urgently needs to scale up its efforts to achieve a climate neutral world, says WWF, following the third progress report of the Science Based Target initiative.

Climate Communication and Preventing Greenwashing
Companies are taking the lead in sustainable and climate transitions, and we applaud them for it. But often they lack clarity about how to credibly communicate about the impact they bring about. THhis article recaps some useful insights into the main challenges they encounter as well as with useful levers for them to apply.

Climate action by SMEs
Knowing that small and medium-sized businesses represent over 90% of all Belgian companies, their combined efforts have great potential to reduce emissions. This article covers the challenges Belgian SMEs experience during their climate trajectories and about the ideas suggested to overcome them.
