Unctad's reported carbon emissions
In 2018, UNCTAD reported total carbon emissions of approximately 86,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, alongside about 54,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and approximately 423,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This data indicates a slight decrease in emissions from 2017, where Scope 3 emissions were about 80,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 1 emissions were around 56,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 435,000 kg CO2e. UNCTAD has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or commitments as part of their climate initiatives. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further clarity on their long-term climate strategy. The organisation's headquarters is located in Switzerland (CH), and it operates within a global context, contributing to discussions on sustainable development and climate action.
