Save the Children's reported carbon emissions

Save the Children, 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 documented commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The organisation has not inherited any emissions data from a parent company or related corporate family, indicating that its climate commitments and emissions reporting are independent. Without specific emissions figures or reduction targets, it is unclear how Save the Children is addressing its carbon footprint or contributing to climate action. In the absence of detailed data, it is essential for Save the Children to establish clear climate commitments and reduction strategies to align with global sustainability goals and enhance transparency in its environmental impact.
