Abstract

: There has been a growing number of companies that join, commit and set targets to the Science-Based Targets initiative in recent years. This thesis explores how factors which were found in previous studies to influence the companies’ decision to join SBTi or climate action in general, interact dynamically. Using an agent-based model, the companies’ interactions, the SBTi strategies and external factors will be examined in the temporal dimension in order to shed light on what is the projected uptake of SBTi.
