• 2020: Total emissions of approximately 240,130,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 16,321,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 8,180,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 227,058,000 kg CO2e.
• 2019: Total emissions of approximately 371,439 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 17,420 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 380,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 325,157 kg CO2e.
• 2018: Total emissions of approximately 126,800,000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 (approximately 15,214,000 kg CO2e), Scope 2 (approximately 9,785,000 kg CO2e), and Scope 3 (approximately 101,806,000 kg CO2e).
• 2017: Total emissions of approximately 125,469,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 13,411,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 11,258,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 100,824,000 kg CO2e.
• For 2014, 2013, and 2012, only Scope 1 emissions data were available, showing totals of approximately 18,437 kg CO2e, 21,246 kg CO2e, and 22,189 kg CO2e respectively.

Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

GIZ has established several Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments and other reduction targets:

• Near-Term Targets (from 2019 base year):

  • Commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2025.
  • Commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 10% by 2025, covering purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, business travel, and employee commuting.
  • A more recent commitment sets a target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46.2% by 2030.
  • Further Scope 3 reductions of 27.5% are targeted by 2030 for purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel- and energy-related activities, and business travel.

• Long-Term Targets (from 2019 base year):

  • A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2050.
  • A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2050.
  • GIZ commits to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050.

• Previous Environmental Programme (2016-2020):

  • A goal to reduce GHG emissions globally by 2% per capita per year in the field and by 2.5% per capita per year in Germany.
