Caltech's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Caltech reported carbon emissions of approximately 86,331,000 kg CO2e, exclusively from Scope 1 sources. This marks a significant increase from 2022, when emissions were about 63,074,000 kg CO2e, also from Scope 1. In 2020, Caltech's total emissions included 29,693,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 29,693,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 29,963,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, indicating a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting across all scopes. Despite the fluctuations in emissions, Caltech has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for further commitment to climate action. As a leading institution, Caltech's climate commitments and transparency in emissions reporting are crucial for setting an example in the academic and research sectors.
