The Nature Conservancy's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, The Nature Conservancy reported total emissions of approximately 11 billion kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across Scope 2 and Scope 3. Specifically, Scope 2 emissions accounted for approximately 205 trillion kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions from investments reached approximately 209 trillion kg CO2e. Notably, there is no reported data for Scope 1 emissions in 2023. The Nature Conservancy has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to avoid or sequester approximately 3 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually by 2030. This target encompasses both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, reflecting their strategy to leverage nature, policy, and market mechanisms to achieve these goals. The organisation's commitment to climate neutrality and net-zero emissions is underscored by their near-term reduction initiatives, which are designed to support renewable energy and enhance carbon storage capabilities. These initiatives are part of a broader effort to address climate change and promote sustainability on a global scale.
