University Of Tokyo's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, the University of Tokyo reported total carbon emissions of approximately 79,880,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 28,180,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 1,700,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 50,000,000 kg CO2e, primarily from business travel. The university's emissions data from 2018 indicates a much higher total, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 22,433,780,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 199,080,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 9,151,590,000,000 kg CO2e. This stark contrast highlights a significant reduction in emissions over the years. Despite these figures, the University of Tokyo has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have signed any climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the institution.
