Umweltbundesamt

The Umweltbundesamt, headquartered in AT and operating within the Health and social work services (85) industry, has established climate commitments focused on achieving climate neutrality. The organisation aims for a significant reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, targeting an 88% decrease relative to a 1990 baseline. A more near-term goal is to achieve a 48% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030, also from a 1990 baseline. These targets align with a more ambitious "Transition scenario" aimed at climate neutrality.

While detailed Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data are not available for all years, the Umweltbundesamt reported a total emission of approximately 35.62 billion kg CO2e for the year 2021. For 2019, the organisation reported total emissions of approximately 1.72 million kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 59,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 161,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of about 1.51 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for this year were primarily driven by waste generated in operations.

The organisation's data indicates a projected reduction in total emissions from 2020 (approximately 38.3 billion kg CO2e) through to 2026 (projected at approximately 24.78 billion kg CO2e). This suggests a declining emissions trajectory over the coming years. The Umweltbundesamt's reporting history shows limited granular data for scopes in most years, with a notable exception for 2019. The organization has not cascaded its data from any parent organisation.
