Coursera's reported carbon emissions

Coursera, headquartered in the US, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data or reduction targets. Without available emissions figures, it is challenging to assess their carbon footprint or climate commitments in detail. However, the absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that Coursera may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As the global focus on sustainability intensifies, it is essential for organisations like Coursera to establish clear targets and commitments to reduce their environmental impact.
