IRENA's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, IRENA has not reported any carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of specific emissions data in kg CO2e. Furthermore, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the organisation. This absence of data suggests that IRENA may not have established formal commitments or initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions at this time. IRENA's focus on renewable energy and sustainable practices positions it within a broader industry context that prioritises climate action. However, without specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is challenging to assess their direct impact on carbon emissions or their commitment to climate goals.

IRENA's Climate Goals (2030 & 2050)
Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.
IRENA 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.
