Global Impact Initiative
Climate Action Accelerator
Uniting Business for a better world
Overview
About the programme
A programme that equips companies to set science-based emissions reduction targets aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
The Climate Action Accelerator helps participating companies move from climate ambition to a credible, measurable plan. It builds the internal capability needed to set a science-based target, secure leadership buy-in, and begin reducing emissions across operations and value chains.
Participants work through the practical steps of target setting — establishing a baseline, understanding scopes, modelling reduction pathways and preparing a submission to the Science Based Targets initiative.
What it involves
- Guided sessions on greenhouse gas accounting and emissions baselines.
- Support in developing a 1.5°C-aligned science-based target.
- Practical guidance on building an internal business case and board endorsement.
- Peer exchange with companies facing similar decarbonisation challenges.
Who it is for
Companies ready to commit to measurable emissions reduction, whether or not they have begun measuring their footprint.
Participation runs in cycles. Contact the GCNB Secretariat to find out when the next intake opens and whether your organisation is eligible.
