Global Environment Facility's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, the Global Environment Facility (GEF) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 43,186,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 74,100,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 29,640,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions included about 130,000 kg CO2e attributed to purchased goods and services. Despite these figures, GEF has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction strategies indicates a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation. All emissions data is directly reported by the Global Environment Facility, with no cascaded data from parent or related organisations. As GEF is headquartered in the US, its emissions profile reflects its operational impact on global climate change.
