Customs and Border Protection's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has not publicly reported any specific carbon emissions figures or detailed climate commitments. Without emissions data, it is challenging to assess their current carbon footprint or the scope of their emissions, including Scope 1, 2, or 3. However, it is important to note that CBP has not outlined any formal reduction targets or initiatives in their climate strategy. This lack of publicly available information suggests that CBP may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive approach to addressing carbon emissions and climate change. In the broader context of federal agencies, there is an increasing emphasis on sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As such, it is anticipated that CBP will eventually align with industry standards and governmental expectations regarding climate action and emissions reduction.
