edX's reported carbon emissions
edX, headquartered in the US, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data or specific reduction targets. Without concrete figures or commitments, it is challenging to assess their climate impact or initiatives. However, as an educational platform, edX is positioned within a sector increasingly focused on sustainability and climate action. The absence of emissions data suggests a potential opportunity for edX to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for transparency and accountability in carbon management.
