This guide was designed to help cities understand what a science-based climate target for cities is. It guides cities in choosing a methodology for setting an interim science-based target by 2030 and a net zero target by 2050. It also explains how to join the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s (UNFCCC) Race to Zero.
