Adb's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, ADB reported total carbon emissions of approximately 45.9 million tonnes CO2e. This figure includes 3.5 million tonnes from Scope 1 emissions, 2.9 million tonnes from Scope 2, and 8.2 million tonnes from Scope 3, primarily attributed to business travel. Over the years, ADB has seen fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2013, total emissions were about 20.5 million tonnes CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 2 emissions at approximately 10.5 million tonnes. By 2022, total emissions had increased to about 6.1 million tonnes CO2e, indicating a complex trajectory in their carbon footprint. Despite these figures, ADB has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect broader industry challenges in establishing clear pathways for emissions reductions. Overall, ADB's emissions data highlights the ongoing need for strategic climate action and transparency in reporting, as the organisation navigates its environmental impact in a rapidly changing climate landscape.
