In 2022, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,645,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 7,169,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 163,238,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 1,645,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. UNIDO has not set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. However, they have implemented various initiatives aimed at energy efficiency, resulting in annual savings of about 163,000 kg CO2e from energy efficiency measures and 7,000 kg CO2e from photovoltaic (PV) plants, although these savings are not classified under specific emission scopes. As a global organisation headquartered in Austria (AT), UNIDO's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that their reported figures are independently sourced. The organisation continues to focus on sustainable industrial development, although specific reduction targets remain unspecified.
