The Business Ambition for 1.5 Campaign was launched in the lead-up to the 2019 Climate Action Summit in an effort to raise the ambition on climate action and push companies to set science-based targets aligned with 1.5°C as opposed to 2°C or well-below 2°C. The campaign successfully helped bring on many signatories to the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and will effectively merge into the Forward Faster Campaign
that will be launched during the UN High-Level Political Forum in mid-July 2023.
Companies that had signed onto the Business Ambition for 1.5 Campaign will continue to have their commitment as part of the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the UN Global Compact continues to call on companies to set ambitious emissions reductions targets through the SBTi in line with their Corporate Net-Zero Standard.
