In 2022, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,635,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 sources. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 7,169,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions accounted for approximately 163,238,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled around 1,635,000,000 kg CO2e. UNIDO's emissions data from previous years indicates a trend of significant emissions, with Scope 1 emissions peaking at approximately 3,026,580,000 kg CO2e in 2014 and gradually decreasing to about 2,107,150,000 kg CO2e by 2016. Scope 3 emissions mirrored this trend, with similar figures reported in those years. Despite the emissions data, UNIDO has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they established Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets. Their climate commitments remain unspecified, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. UNIDO's headquarters is located in Austria (AT), and their ongoing efforts in climate action are crucial for promoting sustainable industrial development globally.
