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.
