The Science Based Targets initiative has published a Comment to our study (Bjørn et al 2021 Environ. Res. Lett. 16 054019). We see the Comment as an important step towards addressing our study’s call for more systematic presentation of methods for setting science-based targets and increased transparency behind the initiative’s method recommendations. We also agree with some of the Comment’s points of criticism of our study and the related nuances introduced. Yet, we find other points to be inaccurate or misdirected. Here, we reply to the Comment by clarifying misunderstandings on our study’s aims, providing additional methodological details, and elaborating on our perspectives
