Unicef

As a GB-based membership organisation (91), UNICEF reported total estimated emissions of approximately 446 million kg CO2e in 2019. This included about 18 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions (mobile combustion) and approximately 428 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. A significant portion of Scope 3 emissions, about 402 million kg CO2e, was attributed to purchased goods and services, with an additional 1 million kg CO2e from the end-of-life treatment of sold products. There is no Scope 2 emissions data available for 2019.

UNICEF is committed to reducing its environmental footprint, setting a goal to reduce internal greenhouse gas emissions from operations by 45 per cent by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year. Furthermore, UNICEF, as part of the UN Secretariat, has a cascaded commitment to reduce GHG emissions by 25 per cent by 2025 and 45 per cent by 2030. The organisation also aims to source 40 per cent of its electricity from renewable energy by 2025 and 80 per cent by 2030. UNICEF also plans to continue offsetting its remaining emissions.
