| Popis: | Science-Based-Targets are introduced for companies to reduce their greenhouse-gas emissions to stay within planetary boundaries. Climate policies are also introduced to reduce carbon emissions. There may be unintended consequences of such policies that lead to increasing a company's emissions. This is coined as green paradox and may cause carbon leakage, which is not well-addressed in Sectoral-Decarbonization Approach of Science-Based-Targets. This paper introduces an approach to systematically investigate green paradox phenomenon and its impact on achieving Science-Based-Targets by considering economic/environmental consequences of climate policies. The introduced approach allows policymakers to study economic/environmental dimensions of sustainable development in presence of green paradox. © 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
