Australian Medical Association's reported carbon emissions
The Australian Medical Association (AMA) has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to significantly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Although specific emissions data for the most recent year is not available, AMA has established targets to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 38% by 2030, using 2021 as the baseline year. This target has been validated through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and is aligned with the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. In addition to its Scope 1 and Scope 2 commitments, AMA is also focused on measuring and reducing its Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from its value chain. These initiatives reflect AMA's dedication to addressing climate change and promoting sustainability within the healthcare sector. As a small to medium enterprise (SME), AMA's targets are part of a broader movement among organisations to take responsibility for their environmental impact and contribute to global climate goals.
