University Of Cambridge

University Of Cambridge, based in GB, reported its Scope 1 and 2 emissions for 2025 as approximately 25,140,000 kg CO2e (market-based) and 48,142,000 kg CO2e (location-based). In 2024, these figures were around 24,712,000 kg CO2e (market-based) and 51,677,000 kg CO2e (location-based). For 2023, the market-based Scope 1 and 2 emissions were roughly 23,229,000 kg CO2e, and location-based were 50,690,000 kg CO2e. The University reported Scope 3 emissions for 2022 at approximately 322,067,000 kg CO2e, alongside Scope 1 and 2 market-based emissions of about 24,766,000 kg CO2e and location-based emissions of 49,124,000 kg CO2e.

The University of Cambridge has set ambitious climate commitments. It aims to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 75% against 2015/16 levels by 2030, with a further goal to achieve absolute zero for these emissions by 2048. This commitment is supported by a Science Based Target. Additionally, the University aspires to be ten years ahead of its Science Based Target decarbonisation pathway, aiming for zero carbon by 2038. Many of its Colleges are also working towards setting net-zero targets or ambitions. There is also a target to reduce per capita carbon emissions from business flights by 25% against 2014/15 levels by 2024/25.
