Victoria University of Wellington's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Victoria University of Wellington reported total carbon emissions of approximately 14,089,653,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 3,772,154,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, while Scope 3 emissions accounted for about 8,510,260,000 kg CO2e. Notably, the university has not disclosed any Scope 2 emissions data. Currently, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined by the university, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The absence of initiatives such as Science Based Targets (SBTi) or other reduction strategies suggests that while emissions data is available, a structured approach to emissions reduction may still be in development. Victoria University of Wellington's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that the figures are independently reported. As the university continues to assess its carbon footprint, it may consider establishing clear climate commitments to align with global sustainability efforts.
