University Of Edinburgh

The University of Edinburgh, an Education services provider based in GB, reported total emissions of approximately 70,363,000 kg CO2e in 2022. This followed emissions of about 65,754,000 kg CO2e in 2021. In 2020, the university reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 39,667,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 16,397,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 2,471,000 kg CO2e, totalling 58,535,000 kg CO2e for that year.

The University of Edinburgh is committed to significant carbon reduction. They aim to reduce both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 30% from a 2021 baseline by 2030. Additionally, they have a goal to reduce carbon emissions per £ million turnover by 50% from a 2007/08 baseline year by 2025, striving to return overall carbon emissions to 2007/08 baseline levels by the same year. The university also has an ambitious "Zero by 2040" target, contributing to Scotland's wider goal of at least an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This target includes initiatives to reduce student and staff travel impacts, a significant component of Scope 3 downstream emissions.
