Purdue University currently does not have available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it report specific reduction targets or initiatives. The institution has not outlined any climate pledges or commitments to reduce its carbon footprint. As such, there are no specific figures or scopes of emissions (Scope 1, 2, or 3) to report. Without concrete emissions data or reduction initiatives, it is unclear how Purdue University is addressing climate change or its carbon emissions. The absence of this information suggests a need for further transparency and commitment to climate action within the institution.
