The International Monetary Fund (IMF), headquartered in the United States, plays a pivotal role in the global financial landscape. Established in 1944, the IMF has evolved to support its 190 member countries through financial stability, economic growth, and poverty reduction. With a focus on macroeconomic policy, fiscal management, and exchange rate stability, the organisation provides critical financial assistance and expert advice. The IMF's core services include surveillance of global economic trends, capacity development, and lending programmes tailored to member nations' needs. Its unique position as a key player in international finance is underscored by its ability to mobilise resources and foster cooperation among countries. Notable achievements include its response to global financial crises and its ongoing commitment to enhancing economic resilience worldwide.

In 2022, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 39,080,000 kg CO2e. This marked a significant decrease from 2019, when emissions were about 61,158,000 kg CO2e. The emissions data for 2021 and 2020 were approximately 16,375,000 kg CO2e and 18,544,000 kg CO2e, respectively. The IMF has not disclosed specific data regarding Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, nor have they set formal reduction targets or initiatives under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). As of the latest reports, there are no documented climate pledges or reduction targets. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that the IMF's reported figures are independent and reflect their own operational impact. The IMF continues to engage in discussions around sustainability and climate commitments, but specific actionable targets have yet to be established.

International Monetary Fund has not publicly committed to specific 2030 or 2050 climate goals through the major frameworks we track. Companies often set interim 2030 targets and long-term 2050 net-zero goals to demonstrate measurable progress toward decarbonization.
