Ucl's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, University College London (UCL) reported no specific carbon emissions data, as it has not disclosed figures for Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions. The institution is a current subsidiary of the University College London, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. UCL has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. However, it is actively engaged in understanding and reporting carbon intensity related to transportation, with metrics such as an average petrol car trip carbon intensity of approximately 0.11 kg CO2e per passenger per kilometre and an average train trip carbon intensity of about 0.0355 kg CO2e per passenger per kilometre. As UCL continues to develop its climate strategy, it remains essential for the institution to establish clear emissions reduction targets and enhance transparency in its carbon footprint reporting.
