SBTi Launches Academy to Train Professionals in Science-Based Climate Targets

The Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has launched the SBTi Academy, a comprehensive learning platform designed to equip professionals with the skills needed to set and deliver science-based climate targets. The academy aims to bridge the skills gap and support businesses in their decarbonization efforts, as global demand for sustainability-related skills continues to rise.

At the heart of the SBTi Academy are three hubs, each catering to different skill levels. The Onboarding Hub offers free beginner-level training on foundational concepts, providing a solid base for those new to science-based targets. For professionals seeking advanced premium training, the Practitioners Hub delves into topics such as the GHG Protocol and corporate targets.

The Certification Hub is an advanced assessment center for specialists seeking the 'SBTi Certified Experts' certification. This hub aims to recognize and validate the expertise of professionals who have mastered the science-based target-setting process. The SBTi Academy's new certification process will help businesses navigate this complex field more effectively.

With the launch of the SBTi Academy, the SBTi is addressing the urgent need for more expertise in climate science and business operations. As companies and countries take action on their climate and sustainability commitments, the demand for sustainability-related skills continues to grow. The SBTi Academy, with its Onboarding, Practitioners, and Certification Hubs, is poised to meet this demand and support businesses in their journey towards decarbonization.
