However, there are no specific reduction targets or commitments outlined in their climate initiatives, and no significant achievements in emissions reduction have been reported. The IFRC's emissions data reflects its global operations, headquartered in Switzerland (CH), and highlights the importance of addressing climate change within humanitarian efforts. The absence of formal reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments in line with industry standards.
