International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies's reported carbon emissions

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), headquartered in Switzerland (CH), currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of figures in the latest emissions report. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their initiatives. As of now, the IFRC has not inherited any emissions data from a parent organisation, nor are there any cascading targets from related entities. This lack of data suggests that the organisation may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments or reporting practices. In the context of climate action, the IFRC is expected to align with global standards and initiatives, potentially adopting frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in the future. However, without specific commitments or data, it remains unclear what steps the organisation will take to address its carbon footprint and contribute to climate resilience.
