GuidanceDeveloping Targets
Targets provide a clear framework for setting objectives, measuring progress and ensuring a commitment to the principles of the Charter. An organization can use these targets to set achievable goals that align with its overall mission and strategy, enabling more effective planning and resource allocation. By setting and working towards environmental and climate targets, organizations contribute to the broader global effort to take action on climate change and environmental degradation.
Organizations adopting the Charter should be committed to ensuring they have specific targets that demonstrate how changes are being implemented and that lead to real reductions in their environmental impacts and improvements in climate response. Each organization will have its own specific targets, reflecting its scale, capacities and mandate. These targets may take time to develop. For many, these targets may already be a part of organizational strategies and action plans, or existing programs linked to climate and environment action.
Within a year of signing the Charter, signatory organisations are expected to translate the commitments into time-bound targets which are applicable to their organisational work, capacities, and areas of expertise. Organisations can find examples of targets developed by others for inspiration, as well as in the Case Study report below. Signatories can contact the Charter Secretariat for support in developing targets by emailing secretariat@climate-charter.org
