Adb's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 45,867,410 kg CO2e. This figure includes 3,493,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 2,927,310 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 8,202,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, primarily attributed to business travel. Over the years, ADB's emissions have fluctuated significantly. In 2022, total emissions were about 6,066,050 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 1,798,770 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 353,340 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 3,913,940 kg CO2e. The emissions peaked in 2013 at approximately 20,527,680 kg CO2e, indicating a substantial reduction in subsequent years. 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 trends where organisations are increasingly pressured to establish clear climate action plans. Overall, ADB's emissions data highlights the need for ongoing monitoring and potential strategic initiatives to address their carbon footprint effectively.
