Carnival's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Carnival Corporation reported approximately 8,582,000,000 kg CO2e in total emissions, comprising about 8,539,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and approximately 45,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets or documented reduction initiatives. Historically, Carnival's emissions have shown fluctuations, with a notable increase in 2023, where emissions data remains undisclosed. The company has reported emissions intensity metrics, such as GHG emissions intensity per Available Lower Berth Day (ALBD), but lacks comprehensive data on absolute emissions for recent years. Carnival's commitment to addressing climate change is evident, yet the absence of specific reduction targets or detailed climate pledges suggests a need for enhanced transparency and accountability in its sustainability efforts. The company operates within the global cruise industry, which faces increasing scrutiny regarding its environmental impact, particularly in relation to carbon emissions.
