In 2024, the International Biathlon Union (IBU) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 38,709,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 1,047,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 1,156,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 36,506,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. In comparison, the 2023 emissions were about 41,555,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 1,074,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 410,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 37,156,000 kg CO2e. The IBU has shown a notable reduction in total emissions from 2023 to 2024, decreasing by approximately 2,846,000 kg CO2e. However, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges reported, indicating a lack of formal commitments to further reduce emissions. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, and the IBU operates independently in its sustainability efforts. Overall, while the IBU has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, the absence of defined reduction initiatives or targets suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate action in the future.
