In 2020, the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia reported no specific carbon emissions data, as it did not disclose figures for Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. However, PIF has made significant climate commitments, aiming for net zero emissions by 2050, as announced during the 2022 Middle East Green Initiative. This makes PIF the first sovereign wealth fund in the MENA region to set such a target. Additionally, PIF is part of Saudi Arabia's broader commitment to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2060 and aims to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 278 million tonnes annually by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year. These initiatives reflect PIF's dedication to addressing climate change and supporting sustainable development in the region. PIF's climate strategy is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that these commitments and targets are independently established.
