WWF's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), headquartered in Switzerland (CH), reported total carbon emissions of approximately 289,040 kg CO2e.

There are no emissions data cascaded from a parent organization, indicating that the reported figures are solely from WWF's own operations. WWF's commitment to addressing climate change is evident, but further details on specific reduction strategies or targets are currently unavailable.
