NRDC's reported carbon emissions

The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), headquartered in the US, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it report specific reduction targets or initiatives. As of now, there are no emissions figures, such as Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, nor any commitments to science-based targets (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Without specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is unclear how NRDC is addressing its carbon footprint or contributing to climate action. The absence of this information suggests a need for further transparency regarding their climate commitments and initiatives.
