Japan International Cooperation Agency's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) reported carbon emissions data indicating a carbon emissions intensity of approximately 500 kg CO2e per employee. Additionally, the agency noted emissions of about 1200 kg CO2e per tonne of steel produced and 400 kg CO2e per kWh of electricity consumed. These figures reflect JICA's ongoing commitment to monitoring and addressing its carbon footprint, although specific total emissions figures for Scope 1, 2, and 3 were not disclosed. In previous years, JICA's emissions data included a carbon emissions intensity of approximately 2600 kg CO2e for BF-BOF DRI-EAF processes in 2021 and 2430 kg CO2e for the Japanese steel industry in 2018. The agency has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it inherit emissions data from a parent organisation, indicating a standalone approach to its climate commitments. Overall, while JICA has not established formal reduction targets, it continues to assess its emissions across various operational categories, contributing to broader climate action efforts in Japan.
