International Committee of The Red Cross's reported carbon emissions

The International Committee of The Red Cross (ICRC), headquartered in Switzerland (CH), currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year. As such, there are no specific figures regarding their carbon footprint, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. Additionally, the ICRC has not outlined any formal reduction targets or commitments through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This absence of data suggests that the organisation may still be in the early stages of establishing measurable climate commitments or reporting frameworks. In the context of the humanitarian sector, the ICRC's climate commitments are crucial for aligning with global sustainability goals, particularly as climate change increasingly impacts humanitarian operations. However, without specific emissions data or reduction initiatives, it is challenging to assess their current environmental impact or future commitments.
