Arts Council Of Wales's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, the Arts Council of Wales reported carbon emissions of approximately 15,000 kg CO2e, all from Scope 1 emissions related to mobile combustion. This marks an increase from 2023, where emissions were about 10,000 kg CO2e, and a significant rise from 2022, which recorded only 4,000 kg CO2e. The Council's emissions data indicates a trend of increasing emissions over the past few years, with 2021 showing no emissions in this category. The Arts Council of Wales has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of SBTi reduction targets or documented climate pledges. Additionally, there is no inherited emissions data from a parent organization, suggesting that their emissions reporting is independent. Overall, the Arts Council of Wales is currently facing challenges in managing and reducing its carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 1 emissions, and has yet to establish formal commitments to climate action.
