IISD's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) reported a total carbon emissions figure of approximately 0 kg CO2e, with no disclosed data for Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions. This lack of emissions data indicates that IISD has not yet quantified its carbon footprint across these scopes.
IISD has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net zero emissions by 2050 for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. These targets are part of their long-term strategy, with a starting year of 2023. The organisation is focused on reducing its environmental impact and aligning with global climate goals.
As of now, there are no emissions data cascaded from a parent or related organisation, indicating that IISD is independently managing its climate commitments. The absence of specific emissions figures highlights the need for further transparency and reporting in their sustainability efforts.
