2° Investing Initiative's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, 2° Investing Initiative reported significant emissions data, although specific total emissions figures were not disclosed. The organisation focuses on climate commitments and initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions, particularly in the context of buildings powered by oil and gas. The average relative CO2 emissions for buildings powered by oil were approximately 41,100 kg CO2e per square metre, while those powered by gas were about 23,900 kg CO2e per square metre. Currently, there are no specified reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This indicates a need for further development in their climate strategy. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that 2° Investing Initiative is in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments, which is crucial for aligning with industry standards and addressing climate change effectively.
