International Union Of Railways's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, the International Union of Railways (UIC) reported average CO2 emissions from train operations at approximately 0.05 kg CO2e per passenger-kilometre. This data reflects the organisation's ongoing commitment to sustainability within the rail industry. However, there are no specific reduction targets or significant achievements documented in their climate initiatives. The UIC's emissions data from 2001 is not specified, and there are no details regarding Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. The absence of concrete reduction targets suggests that while the UIC is aware of its carbon footprint, it may not have formalised commitments to reduce emissions at this time. Overall, the UIC continues to play a crucial role in promoting sustainable practices in rail transport, but further transparency and commitment to specific reduction goals would enhance its climate strategy.
