NYU's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, New York University (NYU) has not disclosed specific carbon emissions figures for recent years. However, historical data indicates a trend in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity measured in kg CO2e per square foot. For instance, in 2019, the GHG emissions intensity was approximately 9.07 kg CO2e per square foot, a decrease from about 9.53 kg CO2e per square foot in 2018 and 9.98 kg CO2e per square foot in 2017. This suggests a gradual reduction in emissions intensity over the years. NYU has not set specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) nor disclosed any formal climate pledges. The university's climate commitments are outlined in its Climate Action Plan, which aims to enhance sustainability practices across its operations. However, no specific reduction initiatives or targets have been documented. It is important to note that emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, and all figures are independently reported by NYU. The university continues to focus on improving its sustainability efforts, although specific metrics and targets remain unspecified.
