IRENA's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, IRENA has not reported any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of disclosed emissions data. Consequently, there are no absolute emissions numbers, such as kg CO2e, to analyse or summarise. IRENA has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate initiatives. This absence of targets suggests that the organisation may currently be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy or reporting framework. Given the lack of emissions data and reduction initiatives, it is essential to monitor IRENA's future commitments and actions regarding carbon emissions and climate change. As an influential entity in the renewable energy sector, IRENA's future climate commitments will be crucial in shaping global sustainability efforts.
