Hi
@Wendy Lomicka! I got a hold of community member
@Charles Nelson and he provided the following answer:
Hi Wendy - if you don't have an approved SBT, I'm not aware of any guidelines to referencing the Paris Agreement or calling a target Paris aligned. It may be a question for your legal team of what they feel comfortable with.
Usually, it can't hurt to use CDP methodology which gives this as an option for describing your targets "we consider this a science-based target, and we have committed to seek validation of this target by the Science Based Targets initiative in the next two years".
