Walden University's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Adtalem Global Education Inc.

Walden University, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The university's climate commitments and reduction initiatives are inherited from its parent company, Adtalem Global Education Inc., at a cascade level of 2. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges specific to Walden University. The absence of emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the university may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. In the context of the education sector, many institutions are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon reduction, aligning with broader industry trends. However, without specific targets or achievements, it is challenging to assess Walden University's current climate impact or commitments.
