Public consultation webinar for updated Step 1: Assess and Step 2: Prioritize

The Science Based Targets Network has launched a public consultation to inform updates to its technical guidance for companies on assessing and prioritizing nature impacts.

The consultation focuses on the major updates under consideration for Version 2 (V2) of the Step 1: Assess and Step 2: Prioritize methods, planned for mid-2026. 

These methods aim to support companies in taking action across their value chains with varying levels of traceability, strengthening how impacts are identified and prioritized, and progressing toward location-based target-setting with great transparency – while maintaining scientific integrity.

In this webinar, SBTN’s technical experts outline the main updates under consideration and the key questions open to public input, and answer participants’ questions.

Watch the session to help inform your response to the public consultation and gain some early insight into potential changes.

Share your feedback on the consultation materials by April 17, 2026 here.
