Established in 1892, the American Psychological Association (APA) is the leading scientific and professional organisation representing psychology in the United States, headquartered in Washington, D.C. As a prominent membership organisation within the "services n.e.c." sector, the APA plays a pivotal role in advancing psychology as a science and profession.
The APA's core mission involves promoting research, education, and the ethical application of psychological knowledge to benefit society. They achieve this through publishing journals and books, developing ethical guidelines, and advocating for psychological science and practice.
Their unique contributions include setting standards for psychological education and practice, and providing a unified voice for psychologists across various specialisms. This has solidified their position as an authority in mental health and behavioural science, impacting policies and public understanding globally.

American Psychological Association's reported carbon emissions
The American Psychological Association (APA), headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the organisation.
As of now, the APA has not inherited any emissions data from a parent or related organisation, nor does it have any commitments to science-based targets (SBTi) or other climate initiatives. This lack of data and commitments suggests that the APA may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy.
In the broader context, many organisations are increasingly recognising the importance of addressing climate change and are setting ambitious targets to reduce their carbon footprints. However, without specific data or commitments, the APA's current position on carbon emissions remains unclear.
