In subsequent years, emissions showed a gradual decline, with total emissions of about 10,617,436,000 kg CO2e in 2013 and approximately 10,385,721,000 kg CO2e in 2014.

Despite these figures, Carnival Corporation has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the industry context, as many companies are increasingly adopting science-based targets to align with global climate goals. Overall, while Carnival Corporation has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of clear reduction commitments highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
