The Climate Change Authority's reported carbon emissions
As of 2024, The Climate Change Authority reported total carbon emissions of approximately 52,276 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions contributing about 11,749 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions accounting for approximately 40,527 kg CO2e, primarily from business travel (about 26,372 kg CO2e). In previous years, emissions have varied significantly. For instance, in 2021, total emissions reached approximately 452,900,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 136,900,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 310,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 315,000,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a notable reduction in emissions by 2024 compared to earlier years. Despite these figures, there are currently no specified reduction targets or initiatives outlined by The Climate Change Authority. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the organisation.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
The Climate Change Authority is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
