Cement Manufacturers Association (CMA)

Karl Downey Senior Technical Manager The decarbonization of cement manufacture is essential to help limit the global temperature based targets are proven to enable corporate emissions reductions at the pace and scale required by science. A new cement project from provides companies in the sector with valuable tools and guidance to help them set science-based targets. 1. The Science Based Targets initiative emissions reductions targets in line with the latest climate science. It is focused on accelerating corporate climate action in line with halving global emissions before 2030 and achieving net zero emissions before 2050. The initiative is a collaboration between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and one of the We Mean practice in science based target to reduce barriers to adoption, and independently assesses and validates companies targets. science-based target setting will become standard business practice, and corporations will play a major role in enabling the global economy to halve emissions before the end of this decade and achieve net zero before 2050. Sectoral Decarbonization Approach method for companies to set targets to stay within a 2°C temperature rise above pre industrial levels. This interpreted data about carbon budgets from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), allowing companies to set targets that were in line with science.
