Coursera's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, Coursera has not reported any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of publicly disclosed emissions data. Consequently, there are no details regarding their Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from the organisation. In the absence of specific emissions data, it is important to note that Coursera's commitment to addressing climate change remains unclear. Without defined targets or initiatives, the organisation's climate strategy cannot be evaluated against industry standards. Overall, Coursera's current climate commitments and emissions data are not available, leaving a gap in understanding their environmental impact and sustainability efforts.
