World Food Program's reported carbon emissions
World Food Program's (WFP) climate commitments include a target to reduce its overall greenhouse gas emissions by 45% from a 2010 baseline by 2030. Additionally, WFP aims to reduce GHG emissions from diesel generators by 90% from the 2010 baseline by 2030. These targets cover all scopes of emissions and are considered near-term absolute reductions.
In 2021, World Food Program reported its Scope 1 and 2 emissions at approximately 84,191,000 kg CO2e. This follows 2020 emissions of about 70,000,000 kg CO2e and 2019 emissions of approximately 105,000,000 kg CO2e. The organisation also reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions of around 95,000,000 kg CO2e in 2018 and 82,000,000 kg CO2e in 2017.
