Umweltbundesamt

Umweltbundesamt, headquartered in Austria and operating within Health and Social Work Services, reported approximately 24.78 million tonnes CO2e in total emissions for 2026. This figure is a projected total, as detailed Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions are not available for this year.

Looking at historical data, in 2019, Umweltbundesamt reported total emissions of approximately 1,723 tonnes CO2e. This included around 59 tonnes CO2e from Scope 1 emissions (mobile combustion: 35 tonnes CO2e, fugitive emissions: 14 tonnes CO2e, stationary combustion: 10 tonnes CO2e), approximately 161 tonnes CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (purchased heat: 126 tonnes CO2e, purchased electricity: 36 tonnes CO2e), and around 1,507 tonnes CO2e from Scope 3 emissions (waste generated in operations: 3 tonnes CO2e). Data on Scope 3 purchased goods and services was not available for 2019.

Umweltbundesamt has established several climate commitments. A net-zero target aims for an 88% reduction in Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, relative to a 1990 baseline. Additionally, the organisation has absolute reduction targets for greenhouse gas emissions cascaded from the EU, aiming for a 20% reduction by 2020 compared to 1990 levels for Scope 1, Scope 2, and all scopes combined. This cascaded target also includes a 40% reduction by 2030 relative to 1990.
