The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) is a pivotal intergovernmental organisation headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland (CH). Established in 1964, UNCTAD plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable development through trade, investment, and technology. With a focus on developing countries, it operates across various regions, providing valuable insights and policy guidance. UNCTAD's core services include research, capacity-building, and technical assistance, aimed at enhancing the economic prospects of nations. Its unique approach combines economic analysis with practical solutions, making it a trusted partner for governments and stakeholders. Notable achievements include its influential reports on global trade trends and the facilitation of international dialogue on trade and development issues. As a leader in the field, UNCTAD continues to shape policies that foster inclusive economic growth worldwide.

In 2018, UNCTAD reported a carbon emissions intensity of approximately 0.54 kg CO2e per USD in revenue, reflecting their Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This figure indicates a slight decrease from 2017, where the emissions intensity was about 0.58 kg CO2e per USD. The most comprehensive emissions data available dates back to 2006, where UNCTAD's total emissions were significant, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 110,736,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at about 1,230,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 83,029,000,000 kg CO2e. Currently, UNCTAD has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment and improvement in their climate strategy. The absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests that while they are tracking emissions, there is an opportunity to enhance their climate commitments and set measurable targets moving forward.
