CGIAR's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, CGIAR has not reported any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of publicly available emissions data. Consequently, there are no recorded Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures to analyse. Additionally, CGIAR has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. In the absence of specific emissions data, it is important to note that CGIAR is actively engaged in various climate initiatives aimed at addressing global agricultural challenges and promoting sustainable practices. However, without concrete data or targets, the organisation's current climate commitments remain unclear. Overall, CGIAR's climate strategy appears to be in the early stages of development, with no emissions data inherited from a parent organisation or cascaded from a corporate family relationship.
