Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR) — Question 29

An international hotel chain reviews progress on sustainability goals in preparation for an Earth Day marketing campaign. A sustainability director suggests the hotel highlight how its energy and food sustainability initiatives align with UN SDG targets.
Which of the following correctly describes an SDG target that the hotel could align with?

Answer options

• A. By 2030 double the rate of energy efficiency improvements.
• B. By 2050 double the share of renewables in the energy mix.
• C. By 2050 reduce per capita food waste by half.
• D. By 2030 reduce GHG emissions to half of 2000 levels.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Option D is correct because it directly addresses the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which aligns with multiple UN SDG targets aimed at combating climate change. Options A, B, and C, while related to sustainability, do not specifically focus on reducing GHG emissions, making them less relevant in the context of this hotel’s campaign.
