The Nature Conservancy, headquartered in the US, has set ambitious climate commitments aimed at significantly reducing carbon emissions. Although specific emissions data for the most recent year is not available, the organisation has outlined a clear strategy 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 commitment to leveraging nature, policy, and market mechanisms to achieve these goals. The Nature Conservancy's near-term initiatives, starting in 2023 and extending to 2030, focus on utilising natural solutions and renewable energy to drive down emissions. While no specific percentage reduction targets have been disclosed, the overarching aim is to contribute to global efforts in mitigating climate change through substantial carbon sequestration. As of now, there are no cascaded emissions data from parent organisations, indicating that The Nature Conservancy is independently managing its climate commitments. The organisation's proactive approach underscores its dedication to environmental stewardship and its role in the broader climate action landscape.
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 Nature Conservancy is not participating in any of the initiatives that 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.
