Costa Cruise Lines Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Carnival plc

Costa Cruise Lines Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. As a current subsidiary, it inherits its climate commitments and emissions data from its parent organisation, which is not specified in the provided information. The company has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have set Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) goals or other climate pledges. This lack of publicly available data suggests that Costa Cruise Lines Inc. may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy and emissions reporting. In the broader context of the cruise industry, many companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and reducing their carbon footprints. However, without specific data or commitments from Costa Cruise Lines Inc., it is challenging to assess its current standing or future plans regarding carbon emissions and climate action.
