Global Environment Facility's reported carbon emissions

In 2019, the Global Environment Facility (GEF) reported carbon emissions data, although specific figures for total emissions in kg CO2e were not disclosed. The organisation has not provided information on Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, indicating a lack of detailed emissions reporting. Currently, there are no established reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any other climate pledges. This absence of specific reduction initiatives suggests that while GEF is engaged in environmental efforts, quantifiable commitments to reduce carbon emissions have not been publicly outlined. As a key player in global environmental finance, GEF's focus remains on funding projects that address climate change and promote sustainable development, but further transparency in emissions data and reduction strategies would enhance their accountability and impact in the fight against climate change.
