Company website

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), headquartered in the United States, is a pivotal agency within the Department of Commerce, dedicated to understanding and predicting changes in the Earth's environment. Founded in 1970, NOAA has made significant strides in atmospheric and oceanic research, contributing to weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and marine resource management. With operational regions spanning the continental U.S. and its territories, NOAA's core services include weather prediction, climate research, and ocean exploration. Its unique integration of science and technology enables it to provide critical data and insights that support public safety and environmental stewardship. Recognised for its leadership in environmental science, NOAA plays a vital role in advancing knowledge and resilience against climate change, solidifying its position as a trusted authority in the atmospheric and oceanic sciences.

National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration's reported carbon emissions

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of figures in the provided data. Consequently, there are no recorded emissions in kg CO2e, nor are there any documented reduction targets or climate pledges. As of now, NOAA has not established any specific reduction initiatives or commitments under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other industry-standard climate initiatives. This lack of data suggests that NOAA may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy or reporting framework. In the context of climate commitments, NOAA's role as a leading scientific agency in the US positions it to potentially influence climate policy and research, although specific commitments or targets have not been disclosed.
